HUD ex. rel. Dianna Lin and Meki Bracken v Chak Man Fung and Jennifer Ho
Jun 05, 2008OUTCOME: Our Clients won $74,000.00
Defendant's unlawfully refused to rent to Defendant because of her race in Violation of the Fair Housing Act. Additionally defendants retaliated against co-Plaintiff who attempted to sublet the apartm ... ent to Plaintiff in defiance of the landlords orders because the landlords orders were unlawfully and for the purpose of discrimination. At trial we were able to prove that between the two Plaintiffs, Defendant's were liable in the amount of $74,000.00 dollars in damages for emotional distress, humiliation, embarrassment, inconvenience, out of pocket losses. Co-Plaintiff was awarded $25,000.00 dollars because, although she was not discriminated against, she suffered emotional distress, inconvenience, and out of pocket losses as a result of her standing up to property managers on behalf of the Plaintiff's civil rights and managments subsequent retaliatory actions against her. Plaintiff's were also awarded injuctive relief which prohibits Defendant's from violating the Fair Hosuing Act in the Future.
