A lawsuit filed against Greystar in California accuses the company of unfair business practices by charging tenants mandatory fees beyond advertised rental rates. Claiming these fees can exceed $500 per year for services like trash collection and pest control, the complaint states that they are not disclosed upfront and lead to unlawful revenue. The plaintiffs argue this practice violates several state laws intended to protect consumers. With the lawsuit seeking to represent affected California residents over the past six years, the issue highlights a larger concern over 'junk fees' in various industries.
According to the complaint, these so-called junk fees regularly total more than $500 per tenant annually.
The bottom line is that what Greystar is doing is not just deceptive, unfair, and predatory, it's also illegal.
Nobody should have their desire to place a roof over their head used as a tool to extort illegal and unnecessary fees.
Attorneys allege that Greystar's fee model results in tens of millions of dollars in unlawful revenue annually.
