HUD is charging D&D Realty Management, LLC, in Providence, RI, the owner and manager of several rental properties in that city, with violating the Fair Housing Act by refusing to rent to families with children. HUD's charge alleges that the owners stated that they cannot have children at the property and refused to show available units to fair housing testers posing as prospective tenants with children. The Fair Housing Act makes it unlawful to refuse to rent to a family because of children under the age of 18 and to make statements that discriminate against families with children. This includes publishing advertisements that indicate a preference or otherwise discriminate against families with children. Housing may exclude children only if it meets the Fair Housing Act's exemption for housing for older persons.
