The Department of Housing and Urban Development has filed a complaint against a Shawnee apartment complex and its managers saying a disabled veteran was illegally denied the ability to rent there because of his emotional support dog.
In a news release Tuesday, HUD announced that Fox Run Apartments, LLC, which owns a 515-unit complex at 7513 Goddard St., and its managers from Peterson Properties would be facing a charge of violating the Fair Housing Act. The act, first passed in 1968, contains provisions aimed toward protecting people with disabilities from being discriminated against in obtaining housing.
