Fair Housing Act (USA)

The Fair Housing Act is a law in the United States that prevents discrimination in renting, buying, or financing homes based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, familial status, or disability. Its goal is to ensure everyone has equal access to housing opportunities and fair treatment in housing-related transactions. This law helps protect individuals from unfair practices such as refusing to rent, sell, or provide services because of these protected characteristics. It promotes a diverse, inclusive housing market where all individuals have an equal chance to find suitable homes.
