October 30, 2024

GBDH, along with co-counsel, wins preliminary approval of class action settlement in its long running case against Wasatch.  Plaintiffs secured a settlement for over 2,000 Section 8 tenants that includes recovery of all the additional fees they alleged were illegally charged, as well as interest, plus critical protections for Wasatch’s Section 8 tenants in California ensuring that they would not be required to pay additional fees beyond their agreed-upon monthly rent. The settlement provides a $5 million class fund, additional amounts for class attorney fees and costs, and a separate $7 million to settle the False Claims Act claims.
