United States v Greenbriar Partners (N.D. Fla.)

On January 12, 2026, the United States entered into a Settlement Agreement in United States v. Greenbriar Partners, LLC, et al. (N.D. Fla.). The Fair Housing Act (FHA) “election” complaint, which was filed on January 10, 2025, alleges that the defendants discriminated on the basis of disability by denying the complainant’s request to live with an assistance animal.  Erwin Jackson and Jackson Properties and Financial Services, LLC are also named defendants in the case. The settlement agreement requires the defendants to pay $9,750 in damages to the complainant, adopt a new assistance animals accommodations policy, attend fair housing training, and provide a neutral rental reference for the complainant. The case was referred to the Division after the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) received a complaint, conducted an investigation, and issued a charge of discrimination.
