Fair Housing Policy

Commitment to Equal Opportunity Housing

We are fully committed to the principles of fair housing and equal opportunity. In accordance with the Fair Housing Act and other applicable federal, state, and local laws, we do not discriminate in housing or housing-related services on the basis of:

Race

Color

Religion

National origin

Sex (including gender identity and sexual orientation)

Familial status

Disability

We strictly prohibit any practices—intentional or otherwise—that may result in unequal treatment or unfair access to housing based on these protected characteristics.

Advertising and Listings

We do not accept or permit any real estate listings or advertisements that express a preference, limitation, or discrimination based on any protected category. All dwellings we advertise are available on an equal opportunity basis.

Rental Practices

We do not refuse to rent, negotiate, or otherwise make housing unavailable to anyone based on protected characteristics. We also do not discriminate in:

Terms, conditions, or privileges of rental

Application processes

Access to services or facilities

Reasonable accommodations for persons with disabilities

In addition to federal protections, we also comply with any state or local fair housing laws, which may expand the list of protected classes (e.g., marital status, source of income, sexual orientation, or age).

Applicable Federal Laws

The Civil Rights Act of 1968 (Fair Housing Act): Prohibits housing discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, or national origin.

The Civil Rights Act of 1866: Prohibits all racial discrimination in the sale or rental of property.

All property owners, landlords, and real estate professionals are legally required to comply with fair housing laws. It is unlawful to:

Refuse to rent or sell housing based on a protected class

Impose different terms or conditions based on a protected class

Represent that housing is unavailable when it is in fact available

Provide different services or facilities

Make, print, or publish discriminatory statements or advertisements

Encourage or discourage residents based on protected characteristics
