Texas Subdivision Owners Violate Fair Housing Act

According to HUD, three subdivision owners, Crow-Billingsley Air Park, Ltd., Airpark-Dallas Zoning Committee, and Airpark GP, L.L.C., have been charged with violating the Fair Housing Act by denying accommodations for a disabled resident. The subdivision owners asked the disabled resident to remove a footbridge that she had installed to allow her access to her mailbox, even though they had previously approved it. This action violated the Fair Housing Act because other residents had installed their own provisions on the property without previous approval, yet none of them had ever been asked to remove the installations. In this case, disabled residents especially have the right to move about and enjoy their own homes.
