Georgia Landlords Charged with Discriminating Against Families with Children

HUD recently announced that it’s charging a couple who owns an apartment building in Georgia with violating fair housing law by refusing to rent to, imposing different rental terms and conditions on, and making discriminatory statements about families with children.

The Fair Housing Act makes it unlawful to discriminate against families with children under the age of 18. Housing may exclude children only if it meets the Fair Housing Act’s exemption for “housing for older persons.”
