and Jana Millard engaged in RACE DISCRIMINATION by not

I.

INTRODUCTION

A. We have reviewed documents from Deville sent to
Complainant concerning an alleged unpaid balance.
B. We have also reviewed Complainant’s responses to
Deville.
C. We have also investigated claims that Deville billed
Complainant differently than white tenants.
D. It is the Opinion of this Department that Deville was
paid in full by Complainant. Furthermore, it is also
the opinion of this Department that Deville and its
manager, Jana Millard, engaged in racial
discrimination by not collecting debt from certain
white tenants who are no longer at the apartment
complex.
E. Now to the issues of the complaint:

II.

THE DEPARTMENT’S FINDING OF FACTS

A. Complainant lived in Deville Apartments for nearly 5
years, her tenure ending in 2015.
B. During the time Complainant complained of receiving
harassment from Manager Jana Millard. Specifically,
Complainant alleged Jana Millard treated her
differently than white tenants, alleging that Jana
Millard, among other things, allowed certain white

tenants to leave the apartment complex without fully
paying money owed to Deville.
C. In January, 2017 Complainant filed a complaint with
this department against Deville alleging, race
discrimination and unfair debt collection practices.
D. For several reasons, we agree with Complainant.
E. Complainant has provided us with evidence that she
hired professional cleaners who worked on the
apartment, and indeed, cleaned the rugs, floors, and
other things before she left the apartment complex.
F. Complainant has also provided us with evidence that a
white tenant was allowed to depart the apartment
complex without fully paying monies owed to it.
G. Furthermore, we find that Jana Millard, apartment
manager, failed to mitigate the damages as required
under state law, and further, did not deduct from
Complainant’s bill, normal wear and tear as required
under state law.
H. Lastly, we find that Complainant was overcharged, and
owes nothing more to Deville.

III. DECISION

Because Complainant was overcharged it is the decision
of this Department that she owes nothing more to
Deville, also because a white tenant was allowed to
depart the apartment complex without fully paying monies
owed to it while Complainant was still charged, we find
that Deville, and manager Jana Millard, engaged in race
discrimination.
