What to Expect When You File a Lawsuit Against Bryan Clark in Iowa City


2016:

Chris Warnock, the attorney for Iowa Tenants' Project representing about 14,000 tenants in the suit, said Wednesday that if the settlement is approved at a July 18 hearing, tenants and subtenants who rented from Apartments Downtown or Apartments Near Campus during lease terms between 2010 and 2014.


The Iowa Tenant's Project initially filed for the class-action lawsuit in December 2010 on behalf of former tenant Michael Conroy and other renters, alleging the landlord was charging illegal fees and withholding unreasonable amounts from security deposits.

The suit argued that the lease violated tenants' rights by charging an automatic carpet cleaning fee, regardless of whether the carpet was clean; having provisions that shifted responsibility for repair and maintenance to tenants, including in common areas of a building; and including a variety of illegal fees, penalties and other charges.
