The Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination in housing based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, familial status, and disability. This applies to all aspects of the rental process, including:
- Advertising and marketing of rental properties
- Application processes and tenant screening
- Terms, conditions, and privileges of rental agreements
- Provision of services and facilities
- Termination of tenancies
Federal law protects the following classes from housing discrimination:
- Race
- Color
- Religion
- Sex (including gender identity and sexual orientation)
- National origin
- Familial status (families with children under 18)
- Disability
Note: Some states and localities provide additional protections beyond federal law.
Landlords must make reasonable accommodations for tenants with disabilities. This includes:
- Allowing service animals and emotional support animals
- Modifying rules, policies, or procedures when necessary
- Permitting reasonable modifications to the physical structure
