You are not being sued.
In this lawsuit, it is alleged that Defendants violated state law when they collected lease termination fees imposed on vacating tenants which allegedly amount to unlawful liquidated damages (“Liquidated Damage Fees”) using lease expiration notices (“Lease Expiration Notices”) that did not technically comply with Fla. Stat. §83.575, by listing all fees, penalties, and other charges applicable to the tenant within the applicable limitations period and/or was not in technical compliance by being sent to the person within 15 days before the start of the notification period contained in the applicable lease. In particular, the Class Representatives have filed a Complaint against Defendants seeking relief on a class-wide basis for inter alia violations of the Florida Residential Landlord Tenant Act (“FRLTA”), Fla. Statute §83.40, et seq., the Florida Consumer Collection Practices Act (“FCCPA”), and for unjust enrichment and/or restitution.
Defendants deny all claims and maintain they did not act wrongfully or unlawfully. Defendants contend that the claims of Kate Butcher and Benjmain Hutter (hereinafter “Class Representatives”) have no merit and that, if the lawsuit proceeded, Defendants would prevail at trial. Defendants have stated that they agreed to these settlement terms to avoid the inherent expenses and risks of protracted litigation.
