| LEBANON COUNTY HOUSING AUTHORITY v. VERONICA LANDECK No. 34 MDA 2008 2009 PA Super 37 Atlantic: 967 A.2d 1009 Filed: 2/27/2009 | |
| Appeal from the Judgment entered January 31, 2008 In the Court of Common Pleas of Lebanon County Civil Division, at No. 2006-01289 | |
| Before: PANELLA, CLELAND, JJ. and MCEWEN, P.J.E. | |
| Opinion by: CLELAND, J. | |
| Concurring Statement by: McEWEN, P.J.E. | |
| Veronica Landeck (Tenant) appeals the judgment entered January 31, 2008 pursuant to the trial court’s orders of December 4, 2007 and December 13, 2007, the latter denying Tenant’s post-trial motion. The issue before us is whether, under the federal Fair Housing Act (the Act), the trial court mistakenly concluded that Tenant failed to establish a reasonable accommodation defense under the Act and thereby erred in awarding possession of the rental property to the Lebanon County Housing Authority (the Authority). Because the trial court erred in its application of the law and its factual findings are not supported by the record, we reverse and remand in part for a new trial. | |
