The Robert C. Weaver Building or Department of Housing and Urban Development in Washington, D.C.When a potential tenant was denied the chance to view a $700-a-month rental and was told she wouldn’t be allowed to live in the unit because she was Black, the agent and the property owner violated the Fair Housing Act by discriminating against her based on race.
“The [administrative law judge]’s decision recognizes the significant pain and real harm that results when housing providers violate the Fair Housing Act,” said Demetria L. McCain, HUD’s principal deputy assistant Secretary for fair housing and equal opportunity. “Fighting illegal discrimination in housing, whether overt or covert, continues to be a top priority for HUD.”
The woman testified that Dangtran then told her that, because she was Black, it “would just make the house uncomfortable” as all the other people living there were Asian professionals. The landlords retaliated against the woman by suing her in state court for slander and abuse of process, a judge found. HUD added a retaliation claim to its discrimination charge, following a Texas judge’s dismissal of the landlord’s case.
