Discrimination accusations a Tucson landlord made in a lawsuit against the city have been largely rejected by a federal appeals court.
Frank Konarski and his family, who own several south-side rental homes and apartments, filed a federal lawsuit against the city in August saying Tucson housing officials violated his civil rights by keeping him out of the Section 8 housing-assistance program.
The city refused to certify Konarski’s properties for participation in the program, finding the condition of the units did not meet Section 8 standards.
