There are several class action lawsuits pending against GL Homes, a large homebuilder in Florida. The lawsuits allege that GL Homes has engaged in a variety of deceptive and unfair practices, including:
- Selling homes with construction defects
- Failing to disclose known defects to homeowners
- Charging excessive fees
- Misrepresenting the quality of its homes
One of the most high-profile class action lawsuits against GL Homes is the Valencia Reserve lawsuit. The lawsuit was filed in 2016 by the homeowners association of Valencia Reserve, a retirement community in West Palm Beach, Florida. The lawsuit alleges that GL Homes built Valencia Reserve with a number of construction defects, including:
- Faulty irrigation systems
- Damaged sidewalks and streets
- Leaky roofs
- Defective windows
The Valencia Reserve lawsuit is still pending, but it has already resulted in a significant settlement. In 2020, GL Homes agreed to pay $850,000 to the homeowners association to resolve the lawsuit.
Another class action lawsuit against GL Homes is the Seven Bridges lawsuit. The lawsuit was filed in 2022 by the homeowners association of Seven Bridges, a luxury community in Delray Beach, Florida. The lawsuit alleges that GL Homes built Seven Bridges with a number of construction defects, including:
- Faulty clubhouse amenities
- Defective sidewalks and driveways
- Leaky roofs
- Defective windows
The Seven Bridges lawsuit is still pending, but it has the potential to be a major setback for GL Homes. If the plaintiffs are successful, they could be awarded millions of dollars in damages.
These are just two of the many class action lawsuits pending against GL Homes. The company has also been the subject of regulatory investigations by the Florida Attorney General’s Office.
If you are a homeowner who has purchased a home from GL Homes, you should be aware of the potential for class action lawsuits. You should also be aware of your legal rights if you have experienced problems with your home. You should speak to an attorney to discuss your legal options.
