Plaintiff, the United States of America (“the Govemment”), brings suit against
defendants Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc. and Mid-America Apartments,
L.P., alleging that its predecessor companies, Post Properties, Inc., Post Apartment
Homes, L.P., and Post GP Holdings, Inc. (together, “Post”), engaged in a pattern or
practice of discrimination under the Fair Housing Act, as amended by the Fair Housing
Amendments Act of 1988 (“the FHA”), 42 U.S.C. §§ 3601-31, and Title III of the
Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 (“the ADA”), z'd. §§ 12181-89. Compl. ll 1
[Dkt. #l]. Because “Post” became “Mid-America” only recently [Dkt. #l l l], and the
events and filings at issue here all took place While the companies were still operating as
“Post,” I Will continue to refer to the defendants by that name in this opinion. This matter
is before the Court on motions by both the Govemment and Post to clarify certain legal
issues in advance of trial. See Defs.’ Mot. to Resolve Legal Issues in Advance of Trial
