housing act
Residential policy statute
A housing act is legislation governing residential property—its construction, financing, sale, or rental.
In the United States, the term often refers specifically to the Fair Housing Act of 1968, which prohibits discrimination in housing based on race, religion, national origin, sex, disability, or family status: The landlord's refusal to rent to families with children violated the housing act.
