The US Justice Department has settled with the parties involved who agreed to pay damages and civil penalties amounting to $60,000 for allegedly discriminating against families with children.
Unfortunately, a property was advertised as having a " no-child policy" here in Atlanta where the community wasn't an over 55+ community. The local community itself is under investigation whether they have exercised policies that discriminated against families with children living or looking to purchase in the community.
This is a no-no UNLESS the community is specifically approved and designated for homeowner's over 55 years of age.
