I know better than to try to go after them for discrimination against a small business owner. I just do not understand how they decide on a settlement amount. I do not think it is fair that they just throw out a random settlement amount, (YPOTHETICAL OF COURSE)such as $5,000 then work down to $2,000.
I thought the settlement amount was HIGH considering it was a first offense.

They are a legitimate agency INTERMOUNTAIN FAIR HOUSING COUNCIL.

I think it should be more of fine situation, first offense a set amount, and then if it continues, it is a blantant disregard for the service animal regulations. after the first offense, I can see a higher fine issued.

Tell them to blow it out their ear.
