FAIR HOUSING ACT          
The Federal Fair Housing Act refers to laws and regulations that make it illegal to discriminate based on a protected class as it relates to the sale, lease, or rental of a dwelling. Federal and state laws protect you against housing discrimination and intimidation within the home.

These laws apply to any of the following situations or activities:
  • Renting
  • Buying
  • Advertising
  • Financing
  • Purchasing property
  • Homeowner's Insurance
  • Building Accessible Housing

Retaliation or harassment of a person enforcing fair housing rights is also prohibited.

  • Race
  • Color
  • National Origin
  • Sex (including sexual orientation and gender identity)
  • Religion
  • Physical or mental disability
