Georgia Landlord Joins Lawsuit Against National Eviction Moratorium

The CDC has said evictions are a public health threat and the agency has the power to limit that threat during a pandemic. A lawsuit has been filed challenging that.

A Georgia woman is one of several property owners suing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention over its recent moratorium on evictions.

Sonya Jones runs a farm in Odum, a town in Southeast Georgia. She produces eggs from more than 70,000 chickens.

As she’s earned money over the last 22 years, she’s bought rental homes.
