What FreebieAgent noticed
This is a legitimate class action settlement (Ross v. Sequoia Equities) approved by Contra Costa County Superior Court on September 16, 2026. Eligible tenants are those who had security deposits wrongfully retained by Sequoia-managed properties; the settlement recovers roughly 25% of what was kept. You don't need proof of purchase or receipts, just the ID and PIN from your original notice. The catch: final approval isn't until January 13, 2027, so no payments have been issued yet, and the court must grant final approval before any money moves. If you were a Defamation Class member, you're paid automatically with no filing required.
