which makes it illegal to advertise "any preference, limitation, or discrimination

or intention to make such preference, limitation or discrimination."
We will not knowingly permit any advertisement for real estate that is in
violation of the law. All persons are hereby informed that all dwellings advertised a
re available on an 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 someone seeking to 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.
