AG Platkin and the Division on Civil Rights (DCR) announced that DCR has issued a Finding of Probable Cause against Highland Living LLC, the owner of an apartment complex in Highland Park, and its leasing agent for allegedly violating the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (LAD) by imposing unlawful minimum-income requirements that discriminated against recipients of government assistance.

“New Jersey’s strong civil rights laws protect every resident’s right to obtain safe, affordable housing without facing discrimination. Now more than ever, it’s imperative that we hold firm on our commitment to safeguard that right. The enforcement actions announced today reflect our continued commitment to ensuring that no one is denied the chance to obtain an affordable place to live because of unlawful housing discrimination.” – AG Platkin
