Settlement Information

A settlement has been proposed to end a class action lawsuit against Home Partners Holdings, LLC, OPVHHJV LLC d/b/a Pathlight Property Management, and related companies (collectively “Defendants” or “Home Partners”), in federal court in Illinois. The lawsuit was brought on behalf of consumers who leased homes from Defendants. The lawsuit claims that Home Partners leased residential homes to Settlement Class Members through leases containing misleading, unenforceable or otherwise unlawful provisions, including related to repair and maintenance obligations.

Defendants deny Plaintiffs’ allegations and claims and deny that Defendants have violated any laws. Defendants contend their leases and conduct were lawful. Defendants do not admit liability of any kind. No final decision or judgment in favor of either side has been entered by any court. The parties have now agreed to settle, which means they have reached an agreement to resolve the lawsuits without any admission or finding of wrongdoing by Defendants. Both sides want to avoid the risk and expense of further litigation.
