Four Latino families filed papers to sue their Virginia landlord Monday after he threatened eviction due to illegal family members living on the premises.

The civil rights lawsuit filed by families living in Waples Mobile Home Park in Fairfax County, Va., claims it is discriminatory to require a social security number for residency. The landlords at the mobile home park are requiring residents to provide either a social security card, passport or valid visa with documentation to renew their leases, reports The Washington Post.

The lawyers representing the families, from the Legal Aid Justice Center (LAJC) and Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan law firm, say the actions are targeted discrimination which disproportionately affects Latinos in the community. All the families involved in the lawsuit have lived in the park for at least two years and have at least one family member without legal residency. The landlords say they need the documentation in order to conduct proper criminal background checks.

The suit filed in the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia says the requirement violates the Fair Housing Act and the Virginia Fair Housing law, according to WJLA.

“This type of discrimination is all too common, but the law is unfortunately far from clear,” Ivy Finkenstadt of LAJC said in a statement. “Many cities and counties across the country have tried to put into place similar laws, and they have routinely been struck down by the federal courts.”

The lawsuit also alleges the landlord changed the lease status to month-to-month for any family with an illegal individual living in the residence. A member of one of the families said they already had to leave their home due to the demands of the landlord.

“They’re kicking out people who have a history of paying bills on time and who have been good tenants,” Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg, director of the LAJC, told The Washington Post. “Even if the court ultimately decides the landlord has a right to do this, it’s equally clear the landlord doesn’t have to do this.”

My lease lists the names of the people who can live in our house, number of pets, how long "guests" can stay, and allows for inspections.

What went wrong here?

What part of 'illegal immigrant' don't these fucking idiots understand? Fucking tacoheads are lucky they're even here.

When the lease is over, can't the landlord just say to Get Out with no reason?

They're in the country illegally to begin with.

What makes you think that they're going to bother with worrying about complying with the terms of a lease?

liberals are insane. They're suing because the owner won't let people who are in the country illegally live there.
Welcome to Obama' America.

They’re being smart - riding on the wave of white guilt for everything wrong with the world. Might as well take advantage of it. If we’re that stupid....

There's the real problem right there. Believing any story on that right-wing propaganda site.

Hopefully Finkenstadt and Moshenberg can find about 10 more bloodsucking jew lawyers to help with this.

I have had illegals pay off 3 mortgages for me in the last 22 years. They are generally better tenants than white or black people. They pay by cash or money order usually on time. I love the illegals but would not want to live next door to them.

OK, so we now know who they are and where they are. Send out the proper authorities and pick them up for immediate deportation in accordance with our laws and our constitution. Problem solved.

Now, Who else wants to file a law suit for discriminating against illegals?

meanwhile, fx co gov, due to their monopoly deals and cozy relation ship with a certian firm outside of VA providing "security cams" industry and such

is going to make a new law requiring leased homes apt condo (that require $rent) to install cameras inside any leased residence "for the safety of the occupants" like $hotels do

if you dont agree they have the right to do this: you hate children

they'll say cameras in showers aren't legal but install them anyway
