Recovering Lost Rental Income from the COVID-19 Eviction Moratorium

Lost money from the COVID-19 eviction moratorium?

If you were a landlord and lost money from the COVID-19 eviction moratorium, we may be able to help. You may be eligible for money damages suffered from the moratorium. The courts have determined that the federal government is responsible for paying for landlords’ actual losses from the eviction moratorium. A copy of the court decision finding the government responsible is below.

Because of a federal appeals court decision in August 2024, landlords can ask for compensation from the U.S. government for their losses during the eviction moratorium period.

How can we help with an eviction moratorium claim?

We may be able to file a federal claim on your behalf in the US Court of Federal Claims in Washington, DC. The claim would be under the Fifth Amendment to the US Constitution which requires the federal government to compensate you if the government took your property.

You will pay us nothing out of pocket

We will not charge you case costs or attorneys’ fees to represent you. Instead, we will seek payment at the conclusion of the case from the government. We can only seek our fees and costs from the government if we win your case. If we lose your case, you owe us nothing.

Will I be part of a class action lawsuit?

No. We do not plan to pursue these cases as a class action. Your claim is unique and thus it should be its own independent lawsuit in the Court of Federal Claims. 

Why choose mctlaw?

Our firm has worked in the Court of Federal Claims for over 25 years. Our attorneys have been very involved in the Court and have recovered hundreds of millions of dollars on behalf of clients in different types of cases in the Court.

What we need from you to determine if we can help with an eviction moratorium lawsuit:

  • Documents showing that your tenant did not pay rent during some or all of the moratorium period from September 4, 2020 thru October 3, 2021.
  • A copy of the tenant’s Eviction Protection Declaration.
  • A monthly list of the monies that you lost.

    As an experienced leader in these types of lawsuits, we were confident the firm would have the expertise. However, what surprised us most was the high level of excellent customer service from the firm’s staff!

    I can’t recommend this firm enough. They have an outstanding team that truly care for their clients…I have been awarded a fair six figure settlement.

    When I say “they went to bat” for me…this Law Firm literally did just that. They persevered to bring the hard-nosed Manufacturer to settle and provide me some recompense for everything I had to endure which led to this suit.
