Evicted for being pregnant
Woman claims violation of Federal Fair Housing Act
In a suit filed in San Diego federal court December 30, Rowna Nicolas claims she was evicted from an apartment, in effect, for being pregnant. The defendants are B.C. Dage, Inc., owner of a six-unit Hillcrest apartment building at 3624 Fourth Avenue, and Kathryn Bunch, who was managing the apartment at the time.
Nicolas says she was more than seven months pregnant when she signed papers to rent an apartment on April 1 of 2014. She was to move in March 30, she says. She moved in, and right away bathroom pipes burst and flooded the unit. According to the suit, Bunch told Nicolas she could move to a hotel and the company would pick up the tab. The company still owes her $100 for that, according to the suit.
Nicolas called Bunch to find out the status of the repairs. Nicolas mentioned that the baby would be born soon. According to the suit, Bunch said if she had known Nicolas was pregnant, she never would have rented her the room. There was supposedly an unwritten rule that pregnant women or children could not live in the building. Nicolas noted that in the original conversation, she was more than seven months pregnant. Bunch said she thought that Nicolas was "just packing on a few extra pounds."
Nicolas claims in the suit that she was a victim of housing discrimination, her civil rights were violated, and she suffered physical and emotional damage. She wants more than $50,000. I tried unsuccessfully to reach Charles Neuendorf of Dage, owner of the apartment, and Bunch.
