The former owners and management of Lake Arbor Apartments have settled a lawsuit brought by former residents who alleged they were evicted for complaining the property was uninhabitable.
The defendants – Lake Arbor Dean TIC, Lake Arbor 80M TIC, Broad Management Group and Wellington Advisors – agreed to pay $547,500, to close the complaint filed in Mecklenburg County Superior Court. The suit alleged Lake Arbor officials violated local housing code and state consumer protection laws between 2015 and 2019 by illegally collecting rent without addressing dangerous living conditions at the complex on Tuckaseegee Road.
