Abstract

The U.S. government has filed a lawsuit against Airbnb, alleging housing discrimination after a host refused to rent an apartment to a mother with three school-age children. The Department of Justice claims that Airbnb violated the Fair Housing Act when the host rejected the rental for Charisse Ylitalo and her sons. Airbnb has stated that it is committed to welcoming people with children and prohibits discrimination based on familial status. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages and an injunction to prevent further discrimination. [Extracted from the article]
