What US Fair Housing Act (42 USC ch 45): Prohibition of Housing Discrimination requires
The Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C. ch. 45, subchapter I) prohibits discrimination in housing and residential real estate transactions, administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development with enforcement also by the Department of Justice. Section 3604 makes it unlawful to refuse to sell or rent, or to discriminate in the terms, conditions or privileges of sale or rental of a dwelling, or in the provision of services, because of race, color, religion, sex, familial status, national origin or handicap; it also prohibits discriminatory advertising, misrepresenting availability, blockbusting, and, for persons with a handicap, refusing reasonable modifications and accommodations and failing to design covered multifamily dwellings with required accessibility features. Section 3605 prohibits discrimination in residential real estate-related transactions, including the making or purchasing of loans, and section 3606 prohibits discrimination in the provision of brokerage services. Section 3608 assigns administration to the Secretary, section 3610 provides for administrative complaints and investigation, section 3612 provides for enforcement by administrative law judges, and section 3613 provides for enforcement by private civil action with actual and punitive damages. The Act is the legal foundation for US fair housing compliance.
