Federal housing authorities say they have reached a settlement over claims that managers of a Salt Lake City apartment complex refused a disabled resident's request for assigned parking.
Officials at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) said Wednesday the owner and managers of Jefferson School Apartments II at 1011 S. West Temple had wrongly refused the woman’s request to be assigned a parking space close to her apartment — a violation of the U.S. Fair Housing Act, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability.
The settlement resolves a two-year dispute and a formal complaint filed by the woman with HUD.
