PHOENIX — An Arizona woman told ABC15 she believes she and her neighbors are victims of a rental scam being investigated by the state's attorney's general's office."From $1,000 to almost $2,000 in a matter of four years is ridiculous," she added.
Last month, Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes sued a group of landlords and a software company for illegally working together to raise rent prices. According to Mayes, the companies shared information and violated the state's antitrust and consumer fraud laws. Mayes said the scheme ended up costing Phoenix and Tucson-area residents millions of dollars more in rent.Greystar was one of nine property management companies named in the 54-page lawsuit."I'm very knowledgeable with my landlord tenant rights…they did find some fees I was overcharged so I'm thinking if they found this there's more to be found," she said.
The Arizona Attorney General's Office recommends that renters like Burns fill out a formal complaint on their website."I hope the AG's office finds those people who were affected by this scam to help them and get them off the street because they may be some who are homeless today and they need a roof over their head…it wasn't their fault," she said.
