S2. Ep. 13: Introduction to Fair Housing Law
Description
This week, we’re diving into the Fair Housing Act (FHA) and breaking down its role in preventing discrimination in the housing market. We’ll talk about how the FHA prohibits discrimination based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, disability, and familial status—and how some state and local laws extend those protections to include age, source of income, marital status, and more. Join us as we explore discriminatory advertising in housing, the nuances of proving discrimination (intentional or otherwise), and the ways landlords and agents can be held liable for discriminatory practices. Plus, we’ll cover significant cases like Asbury v. Brougham Estates, Quigley v. Winter, and more to see how fair housing laws are being enforced today. Tune in to understand your rights and remedies if faced with housing discrimination.
