Current through Vol. 42, No. 4, November 1, 2024
Section 335:20-1-8 - Protection of employee for compliance with fair housing law

It is a discriminatory practice to discharge or demote an employee or agent because of obedience of said employee to the provisions of the Fair Housing Law. [25 O.S. Section 1452.10 ]. Similarly, in "Tokaji v. Toth" (D.C. N.D. Ohio 1974) 1 E.Q.H. 13,679, the Court refused to dismiss a suit against a landlord who evicted the managers of an apartment building he owned when they declined to follow his policy off not renting apartments to Blacks. The Plaintiff had a right to sue under §3617 of the Federal Fair Housing Act which makes it unlawful to intimidate a person who aids others in the exercise of their rights under the Act.
