HUD has approved a Conciliation Agreement among the Housing Equity Center of PA and two residents of a Levittown, PA, apartment complex, and the owners and managers of the complex, Brittany Springs Associates, LLC, and Hub Realty Associates, LLC, resolving allegations of disability discrimination. The complaints alleged that the Fairfield, CT-based housing providers refused to grant the residents' request for a reserved parking space or to allow them to move to a first-floor unit, and retaliated against them for making the requests. The Fair Housing Act prohibits housing providers from denying housing to persons with disabilities or subjecting them to discriminatory terms or conditions, including denying reasonable accommodation requests that may be necessary to allow them the opportunity to use and enjoy their home.
