THE WINDOW TO FILE FOR COMPENSATION IS CLOSING The deadline to file a claim is approaching fast, and once it passes, there’s no second chance. Preparing an eviction moratorium takings claim requires time to gather documents, calculate financial losses, and file in the federal court, all before the window closes. Waiting too long could mean permanently giving up your right to compensation.
WAITING TOO LONG COULD MEAN PERMANENTLY GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO COMPENSATION.
WHAT COUNTS AS A “TAKING”? Not every landlord will qualify for compensation. But you may have a case if you were forced to house tenants who did not pay during the CDC moratorium, and you can show that you lost income as a result. The eviction moratorium affected:
• Individual landlords and small-scale property owners
• Apartment complex owners
• Mobile home park operators
• Housing providers of all sizes
If your tenants submitted the CDC’s Eviction Protection Declaration and you were legally prohibited from evicting them, you may have a claim for money damages.
