HUD Charges Chicago Property Owners with Violating Fair Housing Act refused to rent one-bedroom apartment to a couple and their infant son

HUD Charges Chicago Property Owners with Violating Fair Housing Act refused to rent one-bedroom apartment to a couple and their infant son : "The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development announced today that it has charged Draper and Kramer, Inc., with violating the Fair Housing Act for refusing to rent an apartment to a family because the presence of the family's infant child would exceed Draper and Kramer's self-imposed occupancy limit. The Fair Housing Act makes it unlawful for a housing provider to discriminate because of children in the household, which includes placing unreasonable limitations on occupancy."
