Salute v. Stratford Greens

Richard Salute and Marie Kravette (plaintiffs), disabled Section 8 rent-subsidy recipients, were both refused apartments by Stratford Greens (defendant) because of their Section 8 participation, even though Stratford Greens already had tenants who had signed leases before later enrolling in Section 8. They sued under the U.S. Housing Act, and Kravette, facing loss of her Section 8 certificate if she didn't secure housing by a fixed deadline, sought a preliminary injunction requiring Stratford Greens to rent her an apartment.
