    Fair housing

    Accessible housing for everybody

    Whether you live in a city, suburban area, or rural neighborhood, finding safe, inexpensive housing can be an obstacle.

    Fortunately, our laws safeguard your right to choose where to live without discrimination based on race, religion, sex, or a variety of other characteristics.

    Federal and our state laws in New York exist to guarantee that equivalent housing chances are readily available to all. Some city governments provide even more defenses. This guidance describes some of those laws and consists of information about what to do if you believe a proprietor, seller, or lender has actually discriminated against you.

    Housing is among life's essentials; it is necessary that everybody has access to it, totally free from discrimination. If you have any concerns or issues, please contact my workplace.

    Fair housing laws: how we are secured

    The federal Fair Housing Act, the New York City State Human Rights Law, and numerous local laws prohibit discrimination by housing companies (including owners, realty representatives, managing agents, constructing superintendents, and cooperative and condominium boards), and lending institutions (banks and mortgage business).

    - The Federal Fair Housing Act makes it illegal to discriminate on the basis of an individual's race, familial status (presence of children under age 18), color, nationwide origin, faith, disability (physical or mental), or sex.
  • The New York City State Human Rights Law covers all the exact same qualities, and also secures versus discrimination based on creed, age, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, marital status, military status, or lawful source of income (public or housing assistance, Social Security, additional security earnings, pension, kid assistance, spousal support, foster care subsidies, annuities, or welfare). Many city governments have additional defenses. The New York City City Human Rights Law also covers: gender, citizenship status, partnership status, and lawful occupation.

    Most housing is consisted of

    In the state of New york city, anti-discrimination laws cover most kinds of housing, with four primary exceptions:

    - one- or two-family owner-occupied buildings
  • room leasings in housing for individuals of the exact same sex, such as college dorms or boarding homes where all homeowners are of the exact same sex
  • housing intended for individuals over the age of 55, or over the age of 62
  • space leasings in owner-occupied housing

    Prohibited actions

    These laws apply to the sale or leasing of housing and also to mortgage loaning and offer protections versus various forms of housing discrimination including the following:

    - refusal to make affordable adjustments to a home or typical use location to accommodate a person's special needs
  • refusal to make reasonable lodgings in policies or services if essential for handicapped persons to utilize the housing

    In addition, any multifamily housing developed after 1991 should abide by accessibility requirements.

    Repairing the damage

    If it is discovered that discrimination has taken location, steps might be required to treat the scenario. These can include:

    - requiring modifications in policies and practices
  • making the housing or loan available
  • assessing money damages or attorney fees or Imposing civil fines and charges
