1. What Housing Is Covered?

The Fair Housing Act covers most housing. In some circumstances, the Act exempts owner-occupied buildings with no more than four units, single-family housing sold or rented without the use of a broker, and housing operated by organizations and private clubs that limit occupancy to members.

No one may take any of the following actions based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status or handicap:

  • Refuse to rent or sell housing

  • Set different terms, conditions or privileges for sale or rental of a dwelling
  • Falsely deny that housing is available for inspection, sale, or rental

In Addition: It is illegal for anyone to:

  • Threaten, coerce, intimidate or interfere with anyone exercising a fair housing right or assisting others who exercise that right
  • Advertise or make any statement that indicates a limitation or preference based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, or handicap.

    Thanks post: FACTS ABOUT THE FAIR HOUSING ACT
    Ini adalah pertama kalinya kami mengunjungi Jatim Park 3 pada Oktober 2019. Kami telah mengunjungi Jatim Park 1 dan 2 beberapa tahun yang lalu ketika putri bungsu saya masih berusia di bawah 2 tahun. Sekarang dia berumur 5 tahun. Jatim park 3 merupakan tempat yang sangat bagus untuk dikunjungi, terutama bagi wisatawan yang belum pernah ke negara lain seperti, USA, Eropa, Jepang, Korea, dll.
    Kami merasa seperti telah mengunjungi berbagai negara dalam satu hari . Kami mengambil banyak gambar bagus di sana. Anda juga dapat menyewa pakaian tradisional dari berbagai negara dan berfoto dengannya. Tempat yang sangat bagus dan direkomendasikan untuk dikunjungi di Batu, Malang – https://indolora.co.id/wisata/paket-wisata-malang-batu-bromo/
    Tempat ini dipenuhi dengan berbagai tiruan lokasi terkenal. Istana kepresidenan lokal serta negara-negara lain. Anda dapat menonton tarian India dan air mancur menari di sana. Anda akan memiliki pemandangan foto yang menarik.
