A $650,000 settlement has been reached with Lohman Property Management over claims the landlords did not communicate claims for security deposits to their tenants and charged fees that were not part of the contracts the company had with renters.
The settlement includes anyone in Florida who entered into a lease agreement for apartments at Eagle Gardens of Jacksonville, Arlington Eagle, Eagle Court, Eagle Landing of Orlando, Eagle Point of Daytona, Eagle Pointe I, Eagle Pointe II, Eagle Ridge, Eagle Summit, Jacksonville Village Apartments, Orlando on the Lake Apartments and Orlando Sky and had any portion of their security deposit retained after they moved out.
In the class action lawsuit, plaintiff Shakia Brown claimed the owner/manager of the Camelot Gardens Apartments violated the Florida Residential Landlord Tenant Act by failing to properly send notice by certified mail before taking possession of Brown’s security deposits. The plaintiff also challenged the imposition of payment fees when payments were paid by means other than personal check.
