Annotations
JUDICIAL DECISIONS No violation. - Trial court properly granted summary judgment to a former landlord in an action by a tenant, alleging that the landlord’s late husband repeatedly made sexual advances towards the tenant, in violation of O.C.G.A. § 8-3-202(a)(2) of the Georgia Fair Housing Act, and that the husband violated O.C.G.A. § 8-3-222 by these actions as under principles of principal/agent liability, there was no evidence that the landlord authorized the
husband to commit the sexual harassment, the landlord did not ratify the conduct, and it was outside the scope of the husband’s employment as the property manager for the rental home. Stewart v. Storch, 274 Ga. App. 242, 617 S.E.2d 218, 2005 Ga. App. LEXIS 719 (2005). Summary judgment on the claim under O.C.G.A. § 8-3-222 was appropriate as the evidence cited by the condominium owner did not show unequal treatment
based on race and the owner pointed to no other evidence of the discriminatory animus. Grant v. Phoenix on Peachtree
Condo. Ass’n, 331 Ga. App. 306, 771 S.E.2d 15, 2015 Ga. App. LEXIS 166 (2015).
