By Janie Marlow, the Notion Today discusses a pattern of rent and price overcharging and how tenants can seek refunds through the OPA and federal courts. It outlines who can sue, the legal basis, and the potential to recover up to three times the amount overcharged, with eviction cases treated similarly.
The article notes a 1940s ruling allowing the Office of Price Administration to file in federal court to obtain refunds for tenants overcharged by landlords. It cites a Minneapolis case where tenants were overcharged and a federal court, then the appeals court, found authority to order refunds. The Supreme Court affirmed, enabling OPA to seek refunds in federal court for overcharged tenants and similarly for overcharged buyers of goods.
