United States v. Woodlands at Montgomery LP, et al. (S.D. Ga.)

On April 11, 2024, the United States filed an “election” complaint in United States v. Woodlands at Montgomery LP, et al. (S.D. Ga.) alleging that the owner and manager of an apartment complex in Savannah, Georgia violated 42 U.S.C. §§ 3604(f)(2) and (f)(3)(B) by failing to grant a disabled tenant’s request to transfer to a ground-floor unit and threatening her with an early lease termination fee. The complaint also names the local housing authority and a housing relocation service as defendants. The case was referred to the Division after the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) received a complaint, conducted an investigation, and issued a charge of discrimination.
