Fair Housing is a right protected by Federal and State laws.
Each resident is entitled to equal access to housing
opportunities regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national
origin, disability, familial status, marital status, age,
ancestry, sexual orientation, source of income, or any other
arbitrary reason.
Signs of discrimination include:
The rent or deposit quoted is higher than advertised
the manager says the unit is rented but the ad or sign is still
posted.
The manager says "You probably won't like it here", "We've
rented out the family units", or "There is no place for your
children to play".
A real estate agent keeps "steering" you to look for houses in
neighborhoods different than the ones you desire and you think
you can afford.
The manager denies your request to make minor modifications to
your unit to accommodate your disability.
