‘Bachelor pad’ ad on Craigslist draws lawsuit

Associated Press

DAYTON, Ohio – An Ohio apartment listing for a "bachelor pad" has drawn a federal discrimination lawsuit.

The suit in Dayton U.S. district court says The Connor Group ran a Craigslist online ad last year touting a bachelor pad for single men looking to "hook up."

That drew the attention of the Miami Valley Fair Housing center, which seeks at least $25,000 in compensatory and punitive damages, an order that Connor Group employees get fair housing law training, and that the company be monitored for three years.

Staffers at the non-profit center said the ad apparently discriminated on the basis of sex and family status.

Patrick Rini, a partner with the apartment owner, said it supports and follows fair housing laws. He says the company believes its name will be cleared.
