Bloch v. Frischholz

Jewish condominium residents the Blochs (plaintiffs) had displayed a mezuzah on their doorpost for decades under a rule against objects outside unit doors that had previously been enforced only against hallway clutter. In 2004, the Condo Association (whose president was Frischholz, defendant) reinterpreted the rule to require removing religious objects, and eventually removed the Blochs' mezuzah, notably doing so during a family funeral while leaving a hallway coat rack and card table untouched. The Blochs sued under the Fair Housing Act for post-acquisition discrimination.
