Maryland Attorney General Brian Fosh is probing one of the Kushner family's real estate businesses in Baltimore following reports of alleged predatory practices and aggressive debt-collection tactics, CNN reported Sunday.
The New York Times and ProPublica in May reported that a company owned by the family of White House senior aide Jared Kushner was neglectful and litigious. "Poor upkeep," including mold and mouse infestations, ceiling leaks and appliance failures, was also detailed in the Times' report.
Westminster was sued in September by two Baltimore-area tenants who alleged the firm had been charging improper fees and threatening eviction to force payment following a report in the Baltimore Sun that stated Kushner-affiliated businesses "the most aggressive in Maryland" in seeking civil arrests of tenants who owed money.
Westminster Management, which runs 17 properties throughout Maryland, is the property-management arm of Kushner Companies. Westminster remains a source of income for Kushner, reportedly bringing him $1.6 million in income for wages and gross management fees.
The company said it was complying with Frosh.
"We have been working with the Maryland Attorney General's Office to provide information in response to its request," Kushner Companies told CNN through a spokesperson. "We are in compliance with all state and local laws."
