Housing Discrimination Lawsuit Loans Help Plaintiffs
Housing discrimination lawsuits result from discrimination based upon race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status and/or disability. Housing discrimination lawsuit loans help plaintiffs meet their financial needs while the lawsuit is litigated.
Housing Discrimination Under the Law
The Fair Housing Act protects individuals from discrimination when they are trying to rent or purchase a home. The Act also applies to pursuing mortgage financing, housing assistance and other real estate related services. The provisions cover most housing related situations and prohibits certain activities if they are based upon race, color, creed, etc. Some of these activities include:
- Refusing to rent or sell.
- Setting different terms, conditions or privileges for sale or rental of a residence.
- Publishing any notice, statement or advertisement with respect to the sale or rental which indicates a preference, limitation or discrimination to a protected class.
- Imposing different sales prices or rental payments.
- Evicting a tenant or a tenant’s guest.
- Failing or delaying performance of maintenance or repairs.
- Assigning a person to a particular section of a building or neighborhood.
- Persuading homeowners to sell their homes because people of a particular protected characteristic are moving into the neighborhood.
- and others . . .
If a plaintiff proves the case, the defendant can be forced to rent the dwelling or even pay actual and punitive damages. The defendant can also be made responsible for plaintiff’s attorney’s fees.
Unfortunate Limitations
Like most civil lawsuits, resolution takes time. Plaintiffs can expect many months to elapse between filing of the lawsuit and ultimate recovery. Regardless, some housing discrimination plaintiffs, particularly those who encounter financial strain for whatever reason, are forced to accept less than fair settlement offers. Housing discrimination plaintiffs who need financial support can consider housing discrimination lawsuit loans as a possible solution.
Also known as pre-settlement loans or housing discrimination lawsuit funding, settlement loans provide immediate cash now in exchange for a portion of the future proceeds of the case.
What are Housing Discrimination Lawsuit Loans?
Essentially, a housing discrimination lawsuit loan is a contract between a “funder” and plaintiff where the plaintiff sells a portion of the future settlement ahead of time. If the plaintiff wins the case, the money is repaid with “use fees” added to the amount received.
Housing discrimination lawsuit loans are unique financial transactions because (unlike traditional loans) the money is repaid only if the case is successful. As such, a lawsuit loan is deemed non-recourse funding. That means the sole source of repayment must be the lawsuit itself. Because of this, no credit checks are conducted and traditional financing inquiries such as assets and employment status are irrelevant.
