What is Housing Discrimination

The Fair Housing laws give all individuals the right to live wherever they choose and can afford. It prohibits discrimination based on Race, Color, Religion, National Origin, Gender, Disability, (physical and/or mental) and Familial Status (families w/children under 18 years of age). The laws prohibit housing providers such as landlords, sellers, lenders, and insurance agents from discriminating against anyone who has any one of the protected classes in the purchasing, rental, financing, or insuring of  housing. All types of housing are covered, including single family homes, apartments, condominiums, mobile homes and other dwellings and common areas.
