It’s important for you to be thoroughly familiar with the strict sanctions against discrimination in the federal Fair Housing Law (Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, amended by the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974) and the Equal Credit Opportunity Act. Real Estate Agents, Mortgage professionals and homeowners may not refuse to sell, rent, deal or negotiate with a person because of his or her race, color, religion, sex, marital status, national origin, or receipt of public funds or assistance. You need to be aware of the Fair Housing Act so you will not take any action that is in violation of the act.

Discriminatory activities include:

Refusing to sell or rent dwellings. Imposing different terms and conditions of sale or rental. Falsely denying the availability of housing for sale or rental. Refusing to make mortgage loans. Harassing or intimidating persons exercising fair housing rights based on race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status or national origin.

Complaints are filed with the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). They are charged with the enforcement of the Fair Housing Act.

All real estate advertising whether in print or on the Internet (World Wide Web) is subject to the Federal Fair Housing Act. It is illegal to advertise any preference, limitation or discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, handicap, familial status, ancestry, or national origin, or intention to make any such preferences, limitation or discrimination.
