United States v Onyx Asset Management

On August 7, 2025, the United States entered into a settlement agreement in United States v. Onyx Asset Management LLC, et al. (D.N.H.). The Fair Housing Act “election” complaint, which was filed on January 6, 2025, alleges that the defendants discriminated on the basis of disability by denying the complainant’s request to live with an assistance animal.  MVV, LLC and Jonathan Warren are also named as defendants in the case.  The settlement agreement prevents the defendants from future discrimination on the basis of disability under the Fair Housing Act and requires them to adopt and notify residents of a reasonable accommodations policy, obtain Fair Housing Act training, and adopt nondiscrimination policies.  The settlement agreement resolves the United States’ claims against the defendants; the complainant has intervened and will continue the litigation.  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.
