I'm sure you've done some digging already, but just in case. Here is the government webpage for fair housing laws.

This is the address and telephone of the regional HUD office where complaints are directed:

Chicago Regional Office of FHEO
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
Ralph H. Metcalfe Federal Building
77 West Jackson Boulevard, Room 2101
Chicago, Illinois 60604-3507
(312) 353-7776 ext. 2453
1-800-765-9372
TTY (312) 353-7143

There is also an online complaint form you can fill out.

Fairhousinglaw.org seems to have some good info also.

It would be interesting to have somebody white go see the apartment and see how he treats them. According to the Fairhousinglaw.org website a lot of people had their white friends call/visit the landlords to see if they were treated differently, and when they were, they sued the landlord into the ground. So that might be a good place to start.

Good plan. Send Lauren over.

That's a good idea! I wish I would have thought of that sooner. I'm sure the place is already rented by now. It's in a really high demand area. Ugh. I'm still so pissed about it.
