Fair Housing Rights and Housing Discrimination

Welcome to the FindLaw's Fair Housing Rights and Discrimination section. The concept of fair housing holds that no one should suffer unequal treatment in housing decisions based on a protected characteristic such as race, gender or disability. Anyone who treats an individual unequally in a housing decision based on one of these characteristics has likely engaged in housing discrimination in violation of the Fair Housing Act.
