4. Discrimination. Stella brought his discrimination claim under both G. L. c. 151B and the Federal Fair Housing Act, 42 U.S.C. § 3601 et seq. (2012). The judge ruled in Stella's favor on two grounds. First, she concluded that "when [Lindquist's] agent [Shepard] began to park in a space consistently used by [Stella] due to the proximity to the building and [Stella's] limited mobility, [Lindquist] engaged in or allowed discriminatory activity to occur." Second, she concluded that "[Lindquist] and her agent engaged in discriminatory activity when they restricted [Stella's] use of the back yard due to his son's disabilities."7
