Heischmidt and Stadler Secure No Probable Cause Dismissal in Fair Housing Complaint

Christina Heischmidt (Partner-McLean, VA) and Lauren Stadler (Associate-McLean, VA) defended the owner and manager of a low-income housing property in a matter involving a housing discrimination complaint dually filed with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Indiana Civil Rights Commission (ICRC). In her complaint, the complainant alleged discrimination on the basis of race, arguing the housing provider did not equally enforce policies or perform repairs in her unit. After reviewing the client’s policies, procedures and maintenance history, Christina and Lauren submitted a position statement asking for full dismissal of the housing complaint given that the client performed all requested maintenance work and equally enforced its community policies. Following a client interview and brief period of review, the ICRC issued a “no probable cause” determination in the client’s favor, granting a full dismissal of the housing discrimination complaint.
