Last month, the Greater New Orleans Fair Housing Action Center (GNOFHAC) filed suit against a New Orleans landlord for discrimination on the basis of sex, including severe, pervasive, and unwelcome sexual harassment; battery; and assault.
Under the federal Fair Housing Act, it’s unlawful to deny a person housing or offer them different terms, conditions, or privileges because of sex. It’s also illegal to interfere with a tenant’s enjoyment of the premises due to coercion, intimidation, harassment, threats, or interference.
