Louis et al. v. SafeRent

Mary Louis and Monica Douglas filed a class action lawsuit in 2022 claiming that SafeRent violated fair housing and consumer protection laws by using its SafeRent Score product to make rental housing decisions for applicants in Massachusetts holding public housing vouchers.

SafeRent denies that it did anything wrong, violated any law, or that the claims have merit.

The Court has not decided this case in favor of either side. The parties agreed to settle, which means they have reached an agreement to resolve the lawsuit. Both sides want to avoid the risk and expense of further litigation. The Settlement will resolve the claims of all members of the Settlement classes, including the plaintiffs who brought the case.
