FOURTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
Court File No. 27-CV-22-10389 (Minn. Dist. Ct.)

NOTICE OF CLASS CERTIFICATION

You may be a Member of a Certified Class if, since March 1, 2016, you paid rent or other fees to Defendants pursuant to a lease you signed for a house within Minnesota.

A court authorized the Notice. It is not a solicitation from a lawyer. You are not being sued.

• A class action lawsuit is pending in Minnesota State District Court, Hennepin County, Fourth Judicial District (“the Court”) against Home Partners Holdings LLC, SFR Acquisitions I LLC, and OPVHHJV LLC d/b/a Pathlight Property Management (“Defendants” or “Home Partners”).

• The lawsuit alleges that Home Partners’ form leases include misleading and unenforceable provisions relating to certain of tenants’ rights, deceptively shift the burden of maintenance and repair to tenants, and illegally charge certain property management and lease administration fees, specifically HVAC filter fees, utility billing service fees, liability coverage fees, and certain attorneys’ fees.

• Defendants deny they have violated any Minnesota law and deny the Plaintiffs’ allegations and claims.

• On October 3, 2023, the Court decided that the lawsuit should proceed as a class action on behalf of a “Class,” or a group of people, that may include you.

The Notice is being provided to you in advance of a final decision by the Court on the merits of the lawsuit. No judge or jury has reached any final decision on the claims and defenses in this lawsuit. If you are a Class Member, however, you have a choice to make now.
