 The
sale and purchase of a home is one of the most
significant events that an individual will experience in
their lifetime. It is more than the simple purchase of
housing, for it directly impacts the hopes, dreams,
aspirations, and economic destiny of those involved. It
is for this reason that the Fair Housing Act and other
federal and state laws were enacted to guarantee a right
to a national housing market free from discrimination
based on race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial
status, and national origin.
THE LAW
Civil Rights Act of 1866
The Civil Rights Act of 1866 prohibits all racial
discrimination in the sale or rental of property.
Fair Housing Act
The Fair Housing Act declares a national policy of fair
housing throughout the United States. The law makes
illegal any discrimination in the sale, lease or rental
of housing, or making housing otherwise unavailable,
because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap,
familial status, or national origin.
Americans with Disabilities Act
Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act
prohibits discrimination against persons with
disabilities in places of public accommodations and
commercial facilities.
Equal Credit Opportunity Act
The Equal Credit Opportunity Act makes discrimination
unlawful with respect to any aspect of a credit
application on the basis of race, color, religion,
national origin, sex, marital status, age or because all
or part of the applicant's income derives from any
public assistance program.
State and Local Laws
State and local laws often provide broader coverage and
prohibit discrimination based on additional classes not
covered by federal law.
