HUD has charged the owner and manager of a Windsor Locks, CT, rental property with discrimination for refusing to allow the home to be subleased to a woman and her two children because she is African American. HUD’s charge alleges that when the married couple renting the home, an African American man and a white woman, decided to move out before their lease ended, they notified the property manager that they would find someone to sublease the home and posted an ad on Craigslist.com. When the couple notified the manager that they had found someone to lease the home, the manager asked if she is white. When the husband told the manager that she is African American, the manager allegedly said that he “did not want too many blacks at the property.” HUD’s charge further alleges that the manager also told the husband that “the neighbors would not want to see too many blacks there,” and that the only reason he had rented to the couple was because his wife is white and it was a “good mix.
