Americans may be eligible for a one-time payment from a $1.8 million settlement involving a utility company’s administrative fees, but the deadline to file a claim is today.
Settlement Details
RealPage Utility Management has agreed to a $1.8 million settlement to address claims that it charged unlawful administrative fees. Maryland residents who received these fees from the company between April 1, 2017, and June 30, 2023, might qualify for a payment.
Although RealPage Utility Management denies any wrongdoing, it has settled the class action lawsuit to resolve the issue. Class members must submit their claims by the end of today, September 2, to be eligible for a pro-rata payment based on the amount of administrative fees charged.
The total amount each individual will receive depends on the number of claims filed. Additionally, RealPage has agreed to apply for a Maryland collection agency license as part of the settlement agreement.
Eligibility Requirements
To qualify for the settlement, you must meet the following criteria:
- Be a Maryland customer who was charged by RealPage between April 2017 and June 2023.
- File your claim by the end of today.
Approximately one-third of the $1.8 million settlement will be allocated to lawyer fees. The exact timing of payments to class members is not yet clear.
