Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to pay for this?+
You don't pay anything unless we recover compensation on your behalf. Our legal team works on contingency — we only get paid if you do.
I still rent the unit. Can I participate?+
Yes. Current customers and former customers may both qualify. You do not have to move out to make a claim.
Isn't the company allowed to raise the rent?+
A rental agreement usually permits increases with notice. The question in this investigation is different: whether the operator concealed how high the rate could go, and whether charging a long-term customer far more than a new customer pays for the identical unit is unfair or deceptive under consumer-protection law.
My rent went up years ago. Am I too late?+
Not necessarily. Where the overcharge repeats every month, each month can count separately, so a long rental may still be within the time limits. Tell us your dates and we'll evaluate it.
Do I need proof of my rental?+
You don't need proof to sign up today, but we'll eventually ask for billing statements, rate-increase notices, or your online account history.
Will I have to go to court?+
No, we will file everything on your behalf.
