March 2025 update

Dear Boston Real Estate Investors Association,

Thank you to the associations that have agreed to support our eviction moratorium challenge in the Supreme Court of the United States. We are letting all the associations know that we have a conference call tomorrow at 1:30pm EST / 12:30pm CST / 10:30am PST. The lead attorney, Jon Houghton, in the case will be discussing it and will be available for any questions.

Zoom Info:

Meeting ID: 875 8366 8537

Not surprisingly, most of the support so far has been from associations in states that had eviction moratoria but we are still looking for associations that did not have any moratorium. We would like to highlight to the court that those states without a moratorium managed to cope and in fact are better off.

Regards

William Shadbolt
