A not-for-profit group advocating against housing discrimination sued a New York landlord for violations of the Fair Housing Act (FHA) and the New York State Human Rights Law (NYSHRL) based on refusal to rent to a prospective tenant with limited English proficiency (LEP). The group claimed that the landlord discriminated against a prospective tenant whose primary language was Spanish. The landlord wouldn't rent an apartment to this tenant unless someone who spoke English lived with her at the building. The group also had several testers inquire about rentals with similar results.
