Fair Housing Laws

Fair Housing Laws prohibit discrimination in housing based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, and disability. For homeowner associations (HOAs), this means they cannot create rules or practices that unfairly limit access to housing for these protected groups. HOAs must treat all members equitably, ensuring everyone has equal opportunities to buy, sell, and reside in housing within the community. Violations can lead to legal consequences, so it's essential for HOAs to comply with these laws and promote an inclusive environment.
