Any good, well trained Realtor will know that this is a violation.
DAYTON DAILY NEWS VIA AP
DAYTON -- An Ohio apartment listing for a "bachelor pad" has drawn a federal discrimination
lawsuit.
The suit filed in Dayton U.S. District Court says the Connor Group ran a Craigslist online ad
last year touting a bachelor pad for single men looking to "hook up." That drew the attention of
the Miami Valley Fair Housing center, which seeks at least $25,000 in compensatory and punitive
damages, an order that Connor Group employees get fair housing law training, and that the company
be monitored for three years.
Staff members at the nonprofit center said the ad apparently discriminated on the basis of sex
and family status.
The Dayton-based Connor Group also has properties in Cincinnati, Columbus, Atlanta and Dallas.
Patrick Rini, a partner with the apartment owner, said it supports and follows fair-housing laws.
He says the company thinks its name will be cleared.
