HUNTINGTON A woman is suing Whitaker Square Condominium Association alleging it violated the Fair Housing Act when it discriminated against her for her emotional support animal.
Carmen Snook, who is 76, began having problems with using the stairs at her condominium in Florida and decided to move to Huntington to be closer to her son, Kevin Snook, as well as Kevin Snook s brother and sister-in-law, according to a complaint filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia.
Carmen Snook found a condominium at WSCA that fit her needs perfectly and requested a copy of the bylaws and then notified the president of WSCA that she had an ESA, and the president expressed displeasure regarding the ESA, but requested information about its size, the breed and the animal s ESA documentation. She claims the defendant did not ask for any other information, nor did they speak to her again.
