An interesting, soon to be published Wisconsin case on denial of a rental applicant. This probably has little impact except for Section 8 applicants, but it could also be a basis for Fair housing questions too.
The Housing Authority denied an application because the prospective tenant had been found guilty in a default judgment on municipal citations for disorderly conduct, and assault and battery
What I find interesting is that when the complaint did not show up the first time, the case was merely rescheduled. Yet when the defendant did not show up the second time, she was judged to be guilty. Hardly seems fair, does it?
