Western Manufactured Housing Communities Association (WMA) is a
nonprofit organization created in 1945 for the exclusive purpose
of promoting and protecting the interests of owners, operators
and developers of manufactured home communities in California.
A federal judge has preliminarily approved a $43 million class
action settlement resolving claims that Equity Residential
apartment communities unlawfully charged late fees to tenants
across California, including in Oakland.
