The Office of DC Attorney General Brian Schwalb seeks residents of 3003 Van Ness who were overcharged by Equity Residential in the “rent concession scam.”

In total, $1 million will be distributed to current and past residents of 3003 Van Ness who were overcharged. Residents of other Equity Residential apartment buildings, who also may have been overcharged using “rent concessions,” were unfortunately not covered by the lawsuit.

Here is a link to a list of residents who are due restitution but have not yet been contacted. Those who find their names on this page should email their current mailing address to the Van Ness South Tenants Association at vnsta@vnsta.org.

The tenant association’s efforts to fight the scam were covered in an investigate report in the Washington City Paper. More information about how the scam worked can be found at Fair Rent DC.
