Owner Not Liable for Discrimination

Facts: A resident and his fiancé sued an owner for housing discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, and familial status. The complaints were based on certain exchanges they had with property management and staff. According to the lawsuit, a maintenance technician “repeatedly insult[ed]” the resident “in the presence of other residents.” In April 2015, they wrote to the regional manager to request that the maintenance technician be terminated.
