Additional business information
The following describes a pending government action that has been formally brought by a government agency but has not yet been resolved. We are providing a summary of the governments allegations, which have not yet been proven.
On October 23, 2019, the Maryland Attorney General Consumer Protection Division filed charges against Westminster Management, LLC and the 25 companies that own or previously owned 17 residential communities managed by Westminster Management in Maryland. Charges filed allege the business is in violation of:
- Local jurisdictions' housing codes requiring landlords to ensure that rental premises are free from conditions that threaten the life, health, or safety of tenants.
- Maryland's Application Fee Law law, under which landlords can only charge $25 or their actual costs to process an application.
- Maryland's Security Deposit Law, which allows landlords to collect security deposits from their tenants, but requires the deposits to be returned to the tenant, along with an accounting of any amounts deducted for lost rent, damages due to breach of lease, and damages to the rental property in excess of ordinary wear and tear.
Charges filed also allege the business engaged in illegal debt collection practices, as it did not maintain a license to collect debt.
The properties at issue are Carriage Hill Apartments, Carroll Park Apartments, Charlesmont Apartment Homes, the Commons at White Marsh Apartments, Cove Village Apartments, Dutch Village Apartments, Essex Park Apartments and Townhomes, Fontana Village Apartments, Gwynn Oaks Landing Apartments, Hamilton Manor Apartments, Harbor Point Estates, Highland Village Townhomes, Morningside Park Townhomes, Pleasantview Apartments, Princeton Estates Apartment Homes, Riverview Townhomes, and Whispering Woods Apartments.
The matter is pending.
