Fair Housing News – Feb 2025

The Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission (PHRC) has ordered Tunic Group, LLC to pay $120,802 in a housing discrimination case, including $60,000 in emotional distress damages, to the complainant. The PHRC determined that Tunic Group discriminated against the complainant based on her disability by refusing to permit reasonable accommodations. The complainant had contacted HECP when she was denied reasonable accommodation requests for a transfer to a more accessible unit and a reserved, accessible parking space. HECP investigated the complaint and assisted the complainant in obtaining legal counsel to represent her in pursuing a PHRC complaint.
