Plaintiffs never paid security deposits but allege the landlord failed to provide them with required summary
Case Study: Hundley, et.al. v. WPD Management, LLC, 2023 Il App (1st) 230075
Plaintiffs entered into rental agreements with Defendant and were not required to pay a security deposit. Plaintiffs filed a class action complaint against Defendant alleging a violation of the Chicago Residential Landlord and Tenant Ordinance because Defendant landlord did not provide them with a required security deposit summary.
Takeaways:
The Court held that the Plaintiffs did not have standing to bring the complaint in that they can allege no injury. Plaintiffs were not required to provide a security deposit and Defendant’s failure to provide the security deposit interest information could in no way harm the Plaintiffs.
