About Fair Housing Law

The Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C. § 3601 et seq.) prohibits discrimination in housing based on protected characteristics:

• Rental Discrimination: Refusal to rent, different terms, steering, discriminatory advertising
• Sales Discrimination: Refusal to sell, different terms, blockbusting, redlining
• Lending Discrimination: Discriminatory mortgage lending, terms, conditions
• Disability Rights: Failure to make reasonable accommodations or modifications
• Familial Status: Discrimination against families with children under 18
• Harassment: Hostile housing environment based on protected class

Before Filing: Consider filing a HUD complaint first (not required but may provide investigation support). You have 1 year to file with HUD, or 2 years to file in federal court. Both remedies may be available.
