"The U.S. Department of Justice has agreed to settle a lawsuit it filed against the former owners of Barrcrest Manor Apartments in East Hempfield Township for allegedly refusing to rent to a visually impaired man who uses a guide dog.

Under the terms of the agreement, the former owner, Malvern-based National Properties Inc., would pay up to $60,500 to resolve the lawsuit filed in February 2007 in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The court has yet to approve the settlement."

Not quite settled, is it? I like the breakdown of the penalty too. 35K to the government, 25K to the injured parties, whoever that might be. Who exactly is going to pay, since the management co. has changed? Are they even an entity now?
