Disability and Fair Housing

The Fair Housing Act has two main purposes—prevent discrimination and reverse housing segregation. Agents in a real estate transaction are prohibited by law from discriminating on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin. A request from the home seller or landlord to act in a discriminatory manner in the sale, lease or rental cannot legally be fulfilled by the real estate professional.
