The Falls Farm Homeowners Association in Potomac, Md., informed one family it was breaking the association's rules by renting rooms in their home and operating a boarding house.
The family said it's a victim of discrimination.
Jean Huynh owns one of about 40 single-family homes in the Falls Farm subdivision. Her parents, who gave it to her and her sister in 2005, live there.
The Huynhs rented out a downstairs apartment and an upstairs bedroom, so the homeowners association got a court order in November, saying a boarding house is not permitted and that persons of African, Indian and Asian descent move in and stay for a short time.
"They're not transients," Huynh said. "This is not a boarding house. They don't stay on a weekly or monthly basis. They stay a year to two years, sometimes even extending their contract, and being very comfortable here, they've been accepted by our family as family members."
The lawyer for the homeowners association, Joseph McBride, strongly disagrees.
