ATTENTION FORMER TENANTS OF
OLEN RESIDENTIAL FLORIDA APARTMENTS

The purpose of this site is to advise you of the existence of this class action and how it may affect your rights.

On January 5, 2007, the Circuit Court for Palm Beach County ruled that this lawsuit may be maintained as a Class Action on behalf of the following:

Tenants and their co-signers who had a judgment entered against them by Olen Residential, or who moved or left a Olen Residential Florida apartment from March 1, 2002 to date, who signed an Olen form lease and who received a demand for fees resulting from: “Cancellation fee”, “Fulfill Lease Term Fee”, “Fulfill 30 day Term Fee”, “Contractual Fees”, or “Liquidated Damages”.

Plaintiff alleges that Olen Residential’s practice of charging these amounts, whether paid by the tenant or not, was a violation of: Florida common law; the Florida Residential Landlord Tenant Act, the Florida Consumer Collection Practices Act and the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act as to all members of the Class, and that such Class members are entitled to a monetary recovery and injunctive relief from Olen Residential, including attorneys’ fees and costs.

Olen Residential denies any wrongdoing and that Plaintiffs are entitled to any recovery, and states that it will vigorously defend the lawsuit.
