Oklahoma Administrative Code
Title 335 - Oklahoma Human Rights Commission
Chapter 20 - Interpretive Guidelines on Housing Discrimination
Section 335:20-1-5 - Recovery by non-protected home seekers

Universal Citation: OK Admin Code 335:20-1-5
Current through Vol. 41, No. 13, March 15, 2024

A white apartment seeker is entitled to recover against a lessor for violations of the Fair Housing Act, because the lessor had made remarks showing a racial bias against Blacks. The court found the conduct created a right of recovery on the part of the plaintiff, because she determined that she could not rent an apartment from an owner whom she perceived to be racially biased, believing that her ability to maintain interracial association would be impaired. ["Haynes v. Copeland Realty" (DL, ND OH 1982) E.O.H. 15,457].
