We are satisfied that, consistent with the understanding of “mental impairment” under the Fair Housing Act, Messrs. Sutton’s and Byrd’s observations were competent evidence sufficient for a jury to consider the tenant’s alleged disability and its causal relationship to the unhealthy state of her apartment. Given the trial court’s comment that it suspected “all of us” would be “readily convinced” that the tenant had “some mental illness,” it appears the trial court itself would find that the evidence of record was sufficient for a jury to consider the “mental impairment” issue under the Fair Housing Act as we have interpreted it.
