Mass AG Files Housing Discrimination Suit Against Property Owner For Imposing Unauthorized 55+ Age Requirement On Residents

The Massachusetts Attorney General announced last month:
  • Attorney General Martha Coakley’s Office has filed a housing discrimination and consumer protection lawsuit against the owner of Swift’s Beach Manufactured Home Community (Swift’s Beach), located in Wareham. The complaint [...] alleges that Swift’s Beach violated housing and discrimination laws by preventing a home owner from selling his manufactured home to prospective buyers who were under the age of 55.

  • The complaint also alleges that Swift’s Beach violated state consumer protection laws by attempting to impose an unauthorized over-55 age requirement for park occupants.
