FAIR HOUSING
Our Policy
All real estate advertised herein is subject to the federal
Fair Housing Act, which makes it illegal to advertise "any preference,
limitation, or discrimination because of race, color, religion, sex,
handicap, familial status, or national origin, or intention to make
such preference, limitation or discrimination."
We will not knowingly accept or permit any advertisement for real
estate that is in violation of the law. All persons are hereby
informed that all dwellings advertised are available on an equal
opportunity basis.
Laws That Protect You
444 Civil Rights Act of 1866. The federal Civil Rights Act of 1866
prohibits all racial discrimination in the sale or rental of property.
Civil Rights Act of 1968 and 1988 Amendment. In leasing or selling
residential property, the Civil Rights Act of 1968 expands the
definition of discrimination to include not only race, but also
national origin, color, and religion. The Fair Housing Amendments Act
of 1988 further broadens the definition to include age, sex, and
handicapped status.
Fair Housing Act. The federal Fair Housing Act of 1988 and Title VIII
of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 constitute the Fair Housing Act. The
Act makes fair housing a national policy throughout the U.S. It
prohibits discrimination in the sale, lease or rental of housing, or
making housing otherwise unavailable because of race, color, religion,
sex, disability, familial status or national origin.
Americans with Disabilities Act. Title III of the federal Americans
with Disabilities Act prohibits discrimination against persons with
disabilities in commercial facilities and places of public
accommodation.
Equal Credit Opportunity Act. The federal Equal Credit Opportunity Act
makes it unlawful to discriminate against anyone on a credit
application due to race, color, religion, national origin, sex,
marital status, age or because all or part of an applicant's income
comes from any public assistance program.
Responsibilities
Home sellers, prospective home buyers, real estate agents, mortgage
brokers and loan officers all have rights and responsibilities under
the law.
Home Sellers' Responsibilities
As a home seller or landlord, you are obligated not to discriminate in
the sale, rental or financing of your property on the basis of race,
color, religion, sex, disability, familial status or national origin.
Also, you cannot do so through your licensed broker or salesperson,
who is also bound by anti-discrimination laws. You may not set any
discriminatory terms or conditions in a purchase contract or a lease.
Additionally, you may not deny that housing is available or advertise
a property's availability only to persons of a certain race, color,
religion, sex, disability, familial status or national origin.
Real Estate Professionals' Responsibilities
Real Estate agents, mortgage brokers and loan officers in a real
estate transaction may not discriminate on the basis of race, color,
religion, sex, disability, familial status or national origin. Equally
as important, they may not follow such instructions from a homeseller
or landlord.
Home Buyers' Responsibilities
As a home buyer, you have the right to expect that housing will be
available to you without discrimination or other limitations based on
race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national
origin.
Filing Complaints
Discrimination complaints about housing may be filed with the nearest
office of the U.S. Dept. of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) or by
calling HUD's telephone numbers, (202)708-1112 (Voice) or
(202)708-1455 (TTY). Or contact HUD on the Internet at
