Question Presented (from Petition)

Under the Fair Housing Act, 42 U.S.C. § 3617, when a plaintiff claims that a defendant has intimidated or interfered with him "on account of his having aided or encouraged any other person in the exercise or enjoyment" of FHA rights, may a court require that the alleged aid provided is of a certain degree, or will any amount of aid suffice to trigger the protections of the statute?

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether the Fair Housing Act's prohibition on intimidation or interference with a person who has 'aided or encouraged any other person in the exercise or enjoyment' of FHA rights requires a certain degree of aid, or if any amount of aid suffices to trigger the statute's protections.
