Press Release: HUD CHARGES PHILADELPHIA APARTMENT OWNERS AND TENANT WITH DENYING HOUSING TO FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development today announced that it has charged the co-owners of a Philadelphia condominium apartment, and their tenant, with unlawful discrimination in refusing to rent to families with children. HUD alleges that the owners and the tenant violated the Fair Housing Act when the tenant posted an advertisement on craigslist.com, stating "No dogs or children," and subsequently refused to rent to a tester posing as an applicant with a child.
