Overview

A proposed settlement would resolve Clermont v. National Tenant Network, Inc. & LCIJ, Inc., Case No. 2:23-cv-03545-MCA-LDW, in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. The lawsuit alleges that the defendants violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act by sending consumer reports in postcard form to landlords that disclosed residents' prior eviction filings. The defendants deny wrongdoing, and the court has not granted final approval.

Who qualifies

  • You were the subject of a National Tenant Network or LCIJ postcard that was substantially similar to the postcard described in the court-authorized notice.
  • The postcard was addressed to a landlord and included information about a prior eviction filing.
  • The postcard was sent between June 30, 2018 and December 3, 2023.
  • You do not exclude yourself from the settlement by September 22, 2026.

What you could receive

The defendants agreed to a settlement fund of at least $1.625 million. After court-approved deductions, each class member who submits a valid claim will receive an equal pro rata share. The exact payment depends on the number of valid claims and the final deductions from the fund.
