INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita and the Homeowner Protection Team announced they had reached a settlement with the owners of Willow Brook Gardens Apartments, Wellington Apartments and Briergate Apartments in Indianapolis regarding poor treatment of their tenants.
According to Rokita, the owners of the apartment complexes agreed to the following provisions in the settlement:
- A rent credit payment worth $70,0000 to current tenants. A total of 101 eligible tenants will be notified of their eligibility via mail and will have their accounts automatically credited with amounts ranging between $250 - $2,000 within 30 days of the agreement.
- A total of $20,000 in additional restitution, which will be allocated by the attorney general's office after a review of consumer complaints.
- Dismissal and expungement of over 150 prior eviction proceedings.
- A two-year compliance monitoring period in which each apartment unit will receive ongoing reports related to maintenance and open health department cases.
Impacted customers with questions regarding the settlement can email the Homeowner Protection Unity at HPU@atg.in.gov.
“We work closely with law enforcement agencies at all levels to ensure justice is served and homeowners and tenants are protected,” Rokita said. “I encourage Hoosiers to contact our office about any suspected scams or scam attempts.”
