The Buckeye Institute Calls on SCOTUS to Protect Private Property Rights
The Buckeye Institute filed an amicus brief in Gonzales v. Inslee, calling on the U.S. Supreme Court to protect the private property rights of landlords. In its brief, Buckeye argues that the right to exclude—to say who can and cannot live on your property—is a fundamental element of property rights protected by the Fifth Amendment and that the state of Washington effectively took private property by telling landlords they could not exclude non-rent paying tenants from their property.
