On the facts of this case, we conclude that Lynne, Helen, and Nathan Bloch have offered enough evidence to allow a trier of fact to decide whether they suffered intentional discrimination at the hands of the Shoreline Towers Condo Association and its president Edward Frischholz. Upon careful review of the FHA and our prior opinion in Halprin, we conclude that in some circumstances homeowners have an FHA cause of action for discrimination that occurred after they moved in. We took this case to the full court to consider this important question. Prairie Single Family Homes of Dearborn Park Ass'n, 388 F.3d 327 (7th Cir.2004), the district court concluded that condo owners couldn't rely on the FHA to safeguard their rights from any post-acquisition discrimination. We highlight the word “after” because based on a prior opinion from this court, Halprin v. §§ 3601 et seq., for alleged religious and racial discrimination that took place after the owners bought their condo unit. In this case, we consider whether condominium owners can sue their condo association under the Fair Housing Act (FHA), 42 U.S.C. of Justice Civil Rights Div., Appellate Section, Washington, DC, for United States of American, Amicus Curiae.
