The civil lawsuit is expected to allege that Greystar Real Estate Partners engaged in deceptive pricing practices and failed to properly disclose certain fees to prospective tenants when advertising its rental units, the person said.

Those fees were related to things like pest control, trash services and performing tenant background checks.

Greystar could still reach a settlement with the FTC.
