D.C. sues Grubhub for allegedly using deceptive trade practices
Have you used any of those food delivery services before? have you had any issues or problems with hiked up prices? Did it make you feel like you were lied to?
Well that is exactly how the District of Columbia feels about one of those particular food delivery companies, Grubhub. So much that D.C. filed a lawsuit against them claiming “deceptive trade practices,” such as excessive fees, out-of-date restaurant prices and false advertising.
In the complaint D.C.’s Attorney General said that Grubhub often misrepresents what’s offered on the app and website. Adding that Grubhub lists more than 1,000 “partner restaurants” available for delivery in D.C. that had no contracts with Grubhub, and that the restaurants to the platform’s directory without the owners’ consent.
In response, Grubhub looks to fight the lawsuit as their officials rejected the charges, adding that it complies with the district’s laws. The company also said some of the practices cited by the lawsuit have been discontinued.
We’ll see how this turns out. Could be more lawsuits coming.

Nick Mosby Introduces Bills To Battle Baltimore’s Vacant House Problem
Well back in town, vacant and abandoned homes are a big issue for our City. City officials have reported recent numbers at almost 15,000 vacant homes across the city.
Well some help could be on the way.
There were three new bills proposed by Nick Mosby, City Council president, that will address emergency response fees, registration fees and penalties, and complaint fines. All in hopes to get the owners of these properties to do something about it.
Mosby said in a statement “We understand and know that vacant properties pose a serious threat to residents’ public health and safety, addressing vacant properties in this city we love will require a multi-tiered approach, starting with holding vacant property owners accountable.”
I’m glad the issue is getting attention and solutions are being discussed.
