CA landlord fights law meant to help low-income renters
A California property management company, Tower Bridge Property Management, is challenging a state law requiring landlords to rent to tenants with federal housing vouchers (Section 8). The lawsuit claims the law violates Fourth Amendment rights due to mandatory inspections and paperwork for voucher holders. Similar legal challenges have emerged in other states, with tenant rights groups filing civil rights lawsuits against landlords allegedly refusing Section 8 tenants.
