United States v. Ariel Solis, et al. (D.N.M.)

On March 6, 2024, the United States filed a complaint in United States v. Ariel Solis, et al. (D.N.M.).  The complaint alleges that between 2010 and 2022, Ariel Solis, a property manager in Albuquerque, New Mexico, engaged in a pattern or practice of sexual harassment against female tenants at St. Anthony Plaza Apartments in violation of the Fair Housing Act (FHA). The lawsuit further alleges that Solis’s employer, PacifiCap Properties Group, LLC, and the owners of St. Anthony Plaza, St. Anthony Limited Partnership and PacifiCap Holdings XXXVIII, LLC, are vicariously liable for Solis’s discriminatory conduct because Solis acted as their agent when he sexually harassed tenants at St. Anthony Plaza.
