Property Law Keyed to Singer
Diliddo v. Oxford Street Realty, Inc
Facts
Lori Diliddo was disabled in a car accident and became an Affordable Housing Voucher Participant. This is the program that provides vouchers for temporary housing. That statute that enabled the program created an administrative board to monitor the program now called the Department of Housing and Community Development. This board established a standard lease which required all members of the program to use. That lease stated the term would be for one year and if the tenant found other affordable housing or found permanent housing he or she was required to give one months notice to the landlord to terminate the lease. Diliddo showed interest in an apartment located at 2 Belvedere Place in Cambridge. Oxford Street Realty initially agreed to rent her an apartment but took the offer back the follow day. The President of Oxford, Jeffrey W. Indeck, stated they could not longer give her an apartment because a condition in her lease was unreasonable and excessive.
