Under the Minnesota Human Rights Act enforcement process, which of the following is NOT a remedy that the Minnesota Department of Human Rights or a court may award to a successful complainant in a fair housing case?

Correct Answer

D) Criminal imprisonment of the respondent for up to five years

Criminal imprisonment is NOT a remedy available through the civil enforcement process under the Minnesota Human Rights Act (Ch. 363A) or through a civil fair housing lawsuit. The MDHR administrative process and civil court actions provide civil remedies — damages, penalties, and injunctive relief — but do not result in criminal imprisonment. Criminal prosecution for housing discrimination would require a separate criminal proceeding under applicable criminal statutes, which is a distinct and rarely pursued process.

Answer Options
A
A civil penalty payable to the State of Minnesota
B
Compensatory damages for emotional distress and out-of-pocket losses
C
Injunctive relief requiring the respondent to stop the discriminatory practice
D
Criminal imprisonment of the respondent for up to five years
