Greystar Accused of Widespread Civil Rights Violations Over Housing Practices
Civil rights complaints filed across six states and the District of Columbia accuse Greystar, the nation’s largest apartment owner and manager, of systematically violating fair housing laws. The complaints allege 114 violations, primarily stemming from the company’s alleged refusal to accept federal housing choice vouchers in jurisdictions where landlords are legally required to do so. These allegations follow previous investigations and lawsuits concerning Greystar’s practices, including a reported abundance of fees and settlements related to rent collusion and hidden charges. Greystar maintains its commitment to fair housing and staff training, though it has not addressed the specifics of the current complaints.
