“In Brief to SCOTUS, The Buckeye Institute Argues Privileges or Immunities Clause Protects Property Owners’ Rights”
The Buckeye Institute filed an amicus brief asking the U.S. Supreme Court to hear Yim v. Seattle. “Small-scale landlords provide an invaluable service to their communities. They rent apartments in their homes or rent second homes to tenants, adding to the dearth of housing stock in many of our cities. But the city of Seattle forbids these landlords from screening their tenants, which can endanger other tenants and violates the landlord’s constitutionally protected property rights.”
