A group of Florida realtors have called the federal eviction moratorium “an unlawful and invalid exercise of government authority” in a lawsuit that demands the government set it aside. 

The Florida Association of Realtors and R.W. Caldwell Inc, a real estate agency in Gulfport, made the claim in a lawsuit filed in the Middle District of Florida against the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. Department of Justice.
