A Denver, Colorado, landlord has agreed to pay three men a total of $675,000 as part of a settlement after she was recorded telling her tenant to find an “American person” to sublet her property instead of a father and son, who were Muslim.
Following the initial rejection of the sublet offer Caldwell recorded his next two interactions with Gatchis on his cell phone, and KUNC reported he asked the landlord if she needed an “American person.”In the recording, Gatchis said, “this kind" — in reference to Khan and his father, who are of Bangladeshi and Muslim descent — are “very dangerous, extremely dangerous.” Google Maps
Khan told the Denver Post that the settlement was a relief and that he and his dad wanted to know “that there’s justice” and that Gatchis couldn’t discriminate against them. Gatchis said Caldwell couldn’t sublet to anyone without her permission, as per his original lease agreement, according to court documents obtained by the Associated Press. However, she acknowledged that she “unlawfully discriminated” against the Khans.
