A Florida homeowner’s association was recently charged with discrimination concerning one of its residents. Townhomes of King’s Lake HOA Inc. in Gibsonton has been charged with violating the fair housing act by trying to evict a family for having too many kids living in the household. Six, to be exact. The charges against the HOA and its former property management company, Vanguard Management Group Inc., were filed by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
Townhomes of King’s Lake threatened to evict this family unless they reduced the number of people living in the household. Well, that is easier said than done. This is a family with about eight people: six kids, probably two adults. How should a parent feel if they are told that two of their kids can no longer live with them? The HUD determined that policies such as this may prevent families with children from living in their communities with their unlawful discriminating restrictions. They also noted that the town of Gibsonston, where King’s Lake is located, permits up to eleven people to live there. That’s five more people than allowed by King’s Lake.
