A pair of Dubuque landlords have agreed to pay nearly $30,000 in order to settle a class-action lawsuit over the use of an illegal lease agreement. Greg and Bridget Prehm also will pay $23,000 in attorney fees incurred by Taylor Webber, Heather Price and Tiffany Spark, the named plaintiffs in the suit. The agreement still must be approved by the court. Webber, Price and Spark filed the suit in October 2018, claiming multiple clauses in the lease agreements they signed with the Prehms’ company were illegal. Specifically, they alleged that the terms violated Iowa’s Uniform Residential Landlord Tenant Act.
