In light of a recent news story about a landlord discrimination case in Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, we at Latoison Law want to emphasize our steadfast dedication to advocating for both landlords and tenants in cases of alleged discrimination.
The landlords in Shippensburg were ordered to pay a hefty $90,000 settlement for purportedly discriminating against a black family. Allegations were made that they attempted to block the family’s move-in and subjected them to harassment at the property. This resulted in a complaint filed by the family to the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s office, leading to the settlement.
