Housing corporations face civil suit
Two Fargo-based corporations that own several apartment complexes in the Fargo-Moorhead area are accused of violating the federal Fair Housing Act.
FARGO (AP) — Two Fargo-based corporations that own several apartment complexes in the Fargo-Moorhead area are accused of violating the federal Fair Housing Act.
The complaint says Van Raden Properties Inc. and Van Raden Homes Inc. discriminated against a man with a service dog by denying him an apartment in early 2007.
The United States filed the civil lawsuit on behalf of Fair Housing of the Dakotas, a private nonprofit. The lawsuit seeks more than $32,000 in penalties and damages.
Federal prosecutors declined to comment on the case. A man who answered the phone at Van Raden Properties’ Fargo office also declined comment.
