United States v Gregory Estates LLC (W.D. Mo.)

On July 22, 2025, the United States entered into a settlement agreement to resolve United States v. Gregory Estates LLC, et al. (W.D. Mo.).  The complaint, which was filed on November 18, 2024, by the United States Attorney’s Office, alleges that the defendants discriminated on the basis of disability in violation of the Fair Housing Act (FHA) by refusing to allow complainant to live with his assistance animal and by terminating his tenancy.  Parker Gregory was also named as a defendant in the case.  The settlement agreement requires the defendants to pay $17,000 in damages to the complainant, to attend fair housing training, to adopt a new reasonable accommodations policy, and to send reports to the United States Attorney’s Office for three years.  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.
