What is prohibited discrimination in Real Estate Transactions (Housing)?
The Act prohibits discrimination in the sales or rental of residential or commercial property. A few examples of housing discrimination are: misrepresenting that property is not available for rental or sale; steering to rent or purchase a housing unit in locations other than the customer’s preferred area; altering the terms, conditions or privileges of the transaction; refusing to receive or transmit a bona fide offer to rent or purchase; and refusing to negotiate. (For more information, see Section V of this FAQ and the Human Rights Act, Article ).
