Fair Housing

Fair Housing is the legal principle that affirms the right of individuals to choose to live wherever they wish.  Every person has the right, subject to his or her financial means, to rent or purchase a dwelling or a lot regardless of the location of the property.  If the act of an individual has the effect of denying a person the right to rent, lease or purchase housing, the individual may have committed an unlawful discrimination.
