SUBMIT A CLAIM (Receive Money) |
If you are part of the Class, you are eligible to receive payment as part of the Settlement. If you want to receive your share of the Settlement, you must submit a complete and valid Claim Form to confirm you are a class member and provide information on how and where to send your share of the settlement. To submit a timely claim, you must submit a complete and valid Claim Form on or before June 11, 2026. Individuals that submit a late Claim Form may still be eligible to receive a delayed settlement payment if feasible, but only while funds remain available. If you submit a complete, valid, and timely Claim Form, payment will be sent to you at the mailing address or electronic payment app that you specify on the Claim Form. It is possible that you will receive a second payment after the initial payments have cleared. You will be bound by the final judgment entered as part of the settlement process. |
| ASK TO BE EXCLUDED (Receive No Money) |
If you want to exclude yourself from the Settlement, no longer be a member of the Class, receive no money from the settlement, and not be bound by any final judgment entered by the Court, you may “opt-out” by completing and returning the enclosed Exclusion Form on or before June 11, 2026. If you opt-out, you may still bring a claim against Defendants for illegal late fees, lockouts, property deprivation, poor conditions, and/or unlawful evictions, to the extent allowable by law and the applicable statute of limitations, by filing your own separate lawsuit. |
