Jury awards former tenants more than $10M in lawsuit against apartment complex

DENVER — This week, a Denver jury sided with former tenants in a class action lawsuit against an apartment complex at the center of neglect concerns.

The jury awarded roughly $13.5 million to more than 2,000 residents of the Mint Urban Infinity apartment complex near Louisiana Avenue and Colorado Boulevard in Denver. The payout will go to tenants in the form of a 31.42% rent reduction per unit per month for the class period, which ran from October 22, 2018, through June 28, 2022.

The jury ruled that both property ownership (Glendale Properties) and management (Cardinal Group) violated Colorado’s Warranty of Habitability , with ownership 70 percent at fault and management 30 percent at fault. The jury also found the Defendants violated their obligations to maintain the property under the lease, for damages of $200 per unit, per month.
