Nondiscriminatory rental access
Fair housing refers to the principle and legal framework ensuring equal access to housing regardless of race, religion, national origin, sex, disability, or family status.
In the U.S., the Fair Housing Act of 1968 prohibits discrimination in renting, selling, or financing homes.
The landlord faced fair housing complaints after refusing to rent to families with children.
