Settlement reached in case of a FL family with 6 children being denied a 4 bedroom townhome. The US Dept. of Justice has announced a $150,000 settlement on a lawsuit alleging violations of the Fair Housing Act. The lawsuit alleged that a HOA adopted and both defendants enforced occupancy limits that discriminated against families with children. The lawsuit, filed in October 2012, arose from a complaint filed with HUD by a family with six children that was living at the Townhomes of Kings Lake.

The family eventually moved out of the Kings Lake community. Read more at: justice.gov/opa/pr/2013/August/13-crt-916.html
