EQUAL OPPORTUNITY IN
HOUSING STATEMENT
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

equal opportunity basis. |

THE
LAW
When
it comes to buying, selling or leasing a home or renting an
apartment, several state and federal laws were enacted to ensure
the equal opportunity in housing for all people. The Civil Rights
Act of 1966 prohibits all racial discrimination in the sale
or rental of property. Moreover, the Fair Housing Act declares
a national policy of fair housing throughout the United States,
making 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. Other
laws also impact the purchase, sale or lease of a home or
renting an apartment. Title III of the Americans with Disabilities
Act prohibits discrimination against persons with disabilities
in places of public accommodations and commercial facilities.
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.
In
addition, state and local laws often provide broader coverage
and prohibit discrimination based on additional classes not
covered by federal law.
As
a home seller or landlord you have a responsibility and a
requirement under the law not to discriminate in the sale,
rental and financing of property on the basis of race, color,
religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin.
You cannot instruct the licensed broker or salesperson acting
as your agent to convey for you any limitations in the sale
or rental because the real estate professional is bound by
law not to discriminate. Agents in a real estate transaction
also are prohibited by law from discriminating on the basis
of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status,
or national origin. They are prohibited from complying with
a request from the home seller or landlord to act in a discriminatory
manner in the sale, lease or rental. Moreover, a home seller
or landlord cannot establish discriminatory terms or conditions
in the purchase or rental, deny that housing is available,
or advertise that the property is available only to persons
of a certain race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial
status, or national original.
As
someone seeking to purchase a home or rent an apartment, 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. This includes the right to expect equal professional
service, the opportunity to consider a broad range of housing
choices, no discriminatory limitations on communities or locations
of housing, no discrimination in the financing, appraising,
or insuring of housing, reasonable accommodations in rules,
practices and procedures for persons with disabilities, and
to be free from harassment or intimidation for exercising
your fair housing rights |
