Greystar is the largest property management company in the U.S. and operates thousands of properties across the Carolinas.

U.S. property management company Greystar swindled renters across the country out of hundreds of millions using deceptive advertising and hidden fees, according to a lawsuit filed Thursday by the U.S.

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission, along with the State of Colorado, filed a lawsuit against Greystar Real Estate Partners, the U.S.'s largest apartment landlord, for allegedly misleading tenants about rent.
