13.6.3 Standing

Standing to sue depends on the substantive law involved. Plaintiffs under the FHA have standing if they are injured in any way by the FHA violation and may even assert third-party rights. Plaintiffs have been granted standing under the FHA for being deprived of the social and professional benefits of living in an integrated society.1
