United States v. Salem (D. S.D.)

Overview

On November 23, 2017, the United States Attorney’s Office entered into a settlement agreement resolving United States v. Salem (D. S.D.), a Fair Housing Act election case. The complaint, which was filed on August 28, 2015, alleges that the owners and manager of an eight-unit apartment complex in Sioux Falls, South Dakota violated the Fair Housing Act on the basis of disability by refusing to allow a tenant to return from a nursing facility to his unit if he was using a wheelchair because it could damage the carpet. The settlement agreement requires the defendants to pay the complainant $20,000 and to comply with the Fair Housing Act.
