Howard Groner v. Golden Gate Gardens Apartments, 250 F.3d 1039 (6th Cir. 2001)

Jan 01, 2001

OUTCOME: My clients who were defendants won at the trial court and on appeal

An apartment resident sued for discrimination saying he should be moved to another unit where his noisiness would not be heard as much. The apartment complex did not have such a unit available but did ... put some soundproofing on doors. The apartment complex believed this was reasonable accommodation. The trial court agreed, and the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals did also. "A landlord does not have to do everything humanly possible to make a reasonable accommodation" was the new case law.
