Up to 14,000 former tenants are eligible to receive some money after a settlement involving Iowa City's largest landlord.

A judge recently approved the settlement between the Apartments Downtown and the Iowa Tenants Project.

This was after last year's decision that the company violated the state's landlord- tenant statute by illegally charging tenants automatic cleaning and maintenance fees.

The settlement includes tenants who rented from Apartments Downtown and Apartments Near Campus between 2010 and 2014

They're eligible for 65 dollars for each year they rented.

Along with the settlement, the Iowa Tenants Project and Apartments Downtown launched a new tenant complaint process.
