Austin, TX asked in Real Estate Law and Landlord - Tenant for Texas

Q: Can you help me get into an existing class action suit against my property management

We rent from American homes 4 rent (amh now) and have been for 6 years. We have found out there is a class action law suit against them and we have major issues with foundation which started like 4 years ago and they just now are saying it will be “looked into”

1 Lawyer Answer

A: No. You will need to contact the law firm handling the existing class action and tell them you'd like to "opt-in" to the class action. When they interview you, you may even become one of the named plaintiffs.
