Manchester Property Company Settles Federal Fair Housing Case
The case centered on an allegation that a tenant faced eviction after filing a housing discrimination complaint.
MANCHESTER, N.H. | September 28, 2026 — A Manchester property management company and two other defendants have reached an agreement with the federal government to resolve allegations that they retaliated against a tenant who filed a housing discrimination complaint.
The U.S. Department of Justice alleged that Greenview Associates L.P., Palmer Asset Management LLC, and John Martin attempted to evict the tenant in late 2023 because he had filed a complaint with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
"Federal law protects people from retaliation for filing a housing discrimination complaint — including attempted eviction."
Terms of the Settlement
Under the settlement announced September 25, the defendants agreed to pay the tenant $20,000 and provide credits for certain rent owed. They also agreed to establish policies to comply with the Fair Housing Act at their properties and provide training to employees.
Fair Housing Act Protections
The Fair Housing Act prohibits housing discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, familial status, national origin, and disability. Federal law also protects people from retaliation for filing a housing discrimination complaint.
The settlement resolves the federal government's claims. The Justice Department described the attempted eviction as an allegation in its complaint.
