Fair Housing
means that you have the right to
live where you choose without
discrimination based on your
personal characteristics. Fair
Housing laws protect your
rights; they also enable
government agencies and fair
housing organizations, like BNI,
to help you enforce your rights.
Under Federal
Law, it is illegal to
discriminate in the sale,
rental, financing, insuring or
advertising of real estate on
the basis of:
- Race
- Color
- National
Origin
- Sex
- Religion
- Familial
Status (defined as one or
more individuals under the
age of 18 years living with
a parent or another person
having legal custody of such
individuals. It also
includes pregnant women and
those in the process of
securing legal custody of a
person under the age of 18.)
- Physical
or Mental Disability
In addition,
housing providers are required
to make reasonable
accommodations to policies and
procedures to assure a disabled
tenant�s right to equal
enjoyment of their dwelling.
