Milwaukee, WI
This property manager operating in Wisconsin is being sued by the FTC. What to know.
What is behind the steep increase in rental prices?
A recent antitrust lawsuit accuses software company RealPage for pricing scheme harmful to renters.
The Federal Trade Commission filed a lawsuit against property manager Greystar Thursday, accusing the Charleston, S.C.-based company of charging consumers hidden fees adding up to “hundreds of millions of dollars” since at least 2019.
Greystar manages properties across the U.S. including in the Milwaukee and Madison areas.
“The FTC is suing Greystar for deceptively advertising low monthly rents only to later saddle tenants with hundreds of dollars of hidden junk fees,” said FTC Chair Lina M. Khan in a Jan. 16 press release.
The lawsuit was filed alongside the State of Colorado.
The hidden fees “allegedly range from tens to hundreds of dollars a month,” and include utility fees, “valet trash” fees, package handling fees and more, according to the FTC’s press release.
The agency also alleged that tenants “often have not discovered the fees until after they have signed a lease or moved in.”
“Simply put, consumers cannot lease a Greystar-managed apartment by paying only the advertised price,” the Jan. 16 complaint alleges.

The property management company manages more than 800,000 apartments across the U.S., the release said.
The FTC’s lawsuit comes days after the U.S. Department of Justice and several other state attorneys general filed a lawsuit against six of the largest landlords in the U.S., including Greystar. The DOJ complaint accuses the property management companies of sharing non-public rent data in a software system, causing tenants to lose bargaining power.
How many properties does Greystar manage in Wisconsin?
Greystar manages several properties around the Milwaukee area, according to its website, including the The Lydell in Glendale, Deer Run in Brown Deer and Evoni in Milwaukee. It also manages two properties in Madison.
MILWAUKEE – FOX6 News has obtained new videos showing the abduction of 7-year-old Jamal White before he was found safe.
What we know:
One shows the 7-year-old boy being snatched while riding a bike in front of his family home. The other shows the next day when his uncle opened fire on people trying to help.
The backstory:
Police said White was taken at gunpoint outside his home near 61st and Hustis around 7 p.m. on Friday. He was reported critically missing that night, and an Amber Alert was later issued.
Almost 24 hours after he had been taken, police confirmed he was found safe. The Amber Alert was then canceled. At this time, what led to his abduction – and eventual return – remains unclear.
What they’re saying:
One man, who wishes to remain unidentified, said the sound of White’s screams calling out for his father still pull at his heartstrings.

“I was just in shock,” he said. “You could literally help somebody and still be a target.”
New surveillance shows two people jumping out of a jeep. White, who was on a bike in front of his family home, tried to run when someone grabbed him and threw him in the car.
You can see another person running in the house.
“To hear that little boy scream out for his daddy and the way he sounded, it was like, ‘Hey, you need to get up and search around to see if you can find something,” the man said.
He said he and his 16-year-old drove to Hustis on Saturday morning to help out and tried to park.
“Soon as I was able to see this guy running, he turns his gun around and aims at us, shooting,” he said.
Dig deeper:
27-year-old Jamel White, the boy’s uncle, was arrested. He told detectives he was scared for his family.

“It shook my son a little bit and it kind of put a bad taste in my mouth about helping,” the man said.
Nobody was injured in the incident.
It should be noted that Jamel White was not charged with his disappearance. He was charged with two counts of first-degree recklessly endangering safety.
What’s next:
His bond was set at $20,000. He is due back in court on Tuesday, July 22.
The Milwaukee Police Department said the 7-year-old was released to Child Protective Services.

Here are restaurants in the Milwaukee area to get a hot dog on National Hot Dog Day July 16
WATCH: New Jersey’s most controversial hot dog is back
Served at 1950 Originals each January, this limited-edition “Ramen Dog” has divided the internet since it hit Instagram last winter.
National Hot Dog Day – which is Wednesday, July 16 – is your chance to find a tasty hot dog to try, with many area restaurants featuring the item on its menu.
And here is a fun fact about hot dogs: They are a good source of protein. According to USA Today, hot dogs normally have 5 grams of protein.
While it can be mixed if hot dogs are healthy or not, some argue putting vegetables as toppings can assist with hot dogs being part of a healthy diet.
“They are healthy because they are natural, all beef with lots of veggies,” said Reannen Anderson, owner of Waukesha-based food truck, Big John’s Burgers and Dogs in Waukesha.
These are many Milwaukee-area restaurants to grab a hot dog.
