How to file this claim
- Confirm you meet all eligibility criteria: you resided at an unlicensed Maryland residential rental property, the property lacked the required rental license during the relevant period, and Hunter Warfield sued you for failure to pay rent or sent you to collections within one year of the lawsuit filing.
- Check whether all members of your household intend to remain in the settlement — if any single person opts out, the entire household loses eligibility.
- If your mailing address has changed since you received the settlement notice, update it online at https://www.hwisettlement.com/page/update-address using the notice ID and PIN from your notice, or by mailing or emailing your updated information to the settlement administrator.
- Watch your mail for a check from the settlement administrator after the court grants final approval; cash the check within the allowed window — uncashed funds are donated to Civil Justice Inc.
- If you wish to exclude yourself from the settlement, do so before the exclusion deadline stated in your notice.
Watch out for
- If any single member of a household opts out, the entire household is ineligible for payment — coordinate with all co-residents before deciding to opt out.
- Each unique leased unit counts as one household regardless of how many qualifying tenants lived there — only one payment is issued per unit.
- Checks must be cashed within 120 days of issuance; uncashed checks result in the funds being donated rather than paid to you.
- The settlement is only preliminarily approved; final approval requires a court hearing and resolution of any appeals before payments are mailed.
- Payments are mailed to the address on file — failure to update a changed address means your check may not reach you.
We prepare — you file on the official site yourself. This is not legal advice and is not an eligibility decision; the administrator and court decide.
