| Tenant v.
Wellington Creek Apartments Illinois Renters' Rights Enforced
by Class Action
This case was filed against the old and new owners
of a roughly 100-unit apartment complex in Lisle, just south of Ogden Avenue and north
of the Burlington Northern rail line. Attorney Silverman used to deliver
pizzas to the residents.
Allegedly,
interest was not paid within 30 days from the end of each rental period, or
ever. The plaintiff rented at the premises 20 years, and he moved out just
one month after the long-time owner sold the property to a new landlord.
The property manager, who remained the same, returned the tenant's
$500 security deposit but allegedly refused to pay any interest on the deposit. The
tenants brought suit under the
Illinois
Security Deposit Interest
Act seeking damages for all tenants equal to their full
security deposit amount, plus unpaid interest, plus costs and attorney fees.
The case has settled in the summer of 2008. The settlement is not any
admission of liability by the landlords. If you have questions about your
