Highmark Residential is a property management company that operates throughout North Carolina. Highmark Residential owns and operates residential rental properties in most major cities across North Carolina.
Our firm is currently investigating Highmark Residential’s property management practices related to the assessment and collection of eviction-related fees from tenants following the filing of a complaint for summary ejectment.
It is our understanding that Highmark Residential regularly charged and collected filing fees, service fees, and attorneys’ fees after filing an eviction complaint against their tenants. This is in addition to late fees. This could add up to be hundreds of dollars, simply for being a couple of days late with rent!
Unfortunately, on June 25, 2018, the law changed to make it far easier for landlords to recover out-of-pocket legal expenses from tenants during eviction cases. Before this new legislation passed, landlords could not recover these eviction-related fees.
Highmark Residential represents itself as owning and/or operating a total of 26 properties across North Carolina. 16 in the Charlotte area, 8 in the Raleigh/Durham area and 2 in the Greeensboro area.
Our firm has recovered millions of dollars on behalf of tenants for the illegal assessment of eviction-related fees. If you had an eviction filed before June 25th, 2018, our attorneys would like to speak with you. You may be entitled to a complete refund of all amounts of illegal eviction-related fees, plus a statutory penalty ranging from $500 to $4,000 per violation, in addition to your attorneys’ fees.
You can reach our consumer protection attorneys by phone at (919) 526-0450, or through our contact page.
