Report Alleges Rental Housing Discrimination

A new housing report is raising red flags about rental practices in Memphis. The findings point to what investigators describe as blatant discrimination at several properties, with testers allegedly receiving different treatment based on race and other factors.

Housing advocates say the report highlights the need for stronger oversight and enforcement of fair housing laws. City leaders are reviewing the findings and considering next steps.

Storm Chances Continue This Week

On the weather front, forecasters say on-and-off showers and possible storms will continue across the Mid-South this week. Warmer temperatures have settled in, but periods of heavy rain and thunderstorms could create slick roads during commutes.

Residents are encouraged to monitor forecasts and prepare for changing conditions as the system moves through the region.
