1Opinion of the CourtMoyer, C.J.
{¶ 1} This case raises a question of first impression in this court: May a landlord be held liable under R.C. 4112.02(H)(4) for failing to take corrective action against a tenant whose racial harassment of another tenant created a hostile housing environment? We hold that a landlord may not be held liable under R.C. 4112.02(H)(4) for failing to take corrective action against a tenant whose racial harassment of another tenant created a hostile housing environment. The decision of the court of appeals is therefore reversed.
