Property manager sues QBE, accuses insurer of merging unrelated claims & more related News Here

The case stems from two underlying tenant lawsuits against Denver-based property management company Cardinal. The first, known as the Smith claim, was filed in October 2021 and alleges that Cardinal failed to maintain livable conditions at two Denver apartment buildings, charged unlawful initial move-in fees, improperly withheld security deposits, and assessed administrative fees that allegedly violated Colorado’s Rental Application Fairness Act. The second, the Nikam claim, came more than two years later in April 2024 and focused on a narrower allegation: Cardinal failed to disclose valet trash and property tax fees to tenants in advance.
