that defendants’ failure to renew her lease is an adverse, retaliatory act that
provides another basis for finding defendants liable under § 3617. Kris has not
sought leave to add that claim to this case, and her summary judgment motion does
not provide the proper vehicle for seeking such leave. But even if the claim were
properly before this court on Kris’s motion for summary judgment, the court would
note that Frances Dusseault’s June 15, 2018 letter notifying the MHRA of the
decision regarding lease renewal refers to Kris’s eviction and failure to pay rent,
immediately after stating that her lease would not be renewed. Considering the
record as a whole, including evidence that Kris was found to have breached her
lease by not paying the rent as required, plaintiff has not demonstrated that those
reasons are pretextual, and that retaliation prohibited by the FHA was the true
reason for the refusal to renew the lease.
