Discrimination / Fair Housing Fair housing is housing without discrimination. Fair housing means not being discriminated against when you rent or buy a home. It also means that everyone has a right to live in a neighborhood or community where all kinds of people are welcome. Housing discrimination comes in many forms and is committed against many different people. Discrimination affects everyone by limiting where we can live and who our neighbors can be. Illegal Discrimination (Prohibited Bases) Fair housing laws protect against discrimination in housing. Discrimination is illegal if the reason for the discrimination is listed in the law. If the reason for the discrimination isn’t listed in the law, the discrimination is not illegal. Examples: - “I won’t rent to you because you’re African.” Illegal discrimination based on national origin and possibly race and color. - “I won’t rent to you because you smoke.” Not illegal discrimination. It’s illegal to discriminate against or harass anyone about housing because of: - Race, Color - National Origin / Ethnicity - Religion - Disability - Minor Children - Sex - Gender Identity - Sexual Orientation - Abuse, Sexual Assault or Stalking - Age - Public Assistance - Marital Status Landlords, realtors, banks, neighbors, towns and other people can consider other things when making decisions about housing. For example, they can make sure you can afford the housing. A landlord can ask for landlord references. But they can’t refuse you housing, have different rules or assume things about you because of any of the reasons listed above. For example: - A landlord can’t assume that because you are a single woman, you won't be able to afford the rent. - A condo association can’t assume that because you have a disability, you won’t be able to live on your own. - A town can’t allow people to put up Christmas decorations at their home, but not allow others to put up decorations to celebrate Ramadan. Legal Discrimination Anti-discrimination laws protect us all, but they don’t protect against everything we might think of as discrimination. It is legal for landlords, realtors and other people to discriminate for reasons other than those listed in fair housing laws. For example, a landlord can refuse to rent to someone because he smokes or because she has tattoos. A condo association or landlord can refuse to allow you to have a dangerous animal, such as a dog with a history of biting, as an assistance animal. Anti-discrimination laws only make it illegal for anyone to restrict or deny another person’s access or use of housing based on the reasons listed under “Illegal Discrimination”, above.

भेदभाव/निष्पक्षआवास निष्पक्ष आवास भेदभाव बिनाको आवास हो । निष्पक्ष आवास भनेको तपाईंले घर किन्दा वा भाडामा लिँदा भेदभाव नगरिनु हो । यसको अर्थ सबै प्रकारका मानिसहरूलाई स्वागत गरिने छरछिमेक वा समुदायमा बसोबास गर्ने अधिकार सबैको हुन्छ भन्ने पनि हो । आवासीय भेदभाव अनेक स्वरूपमा हुन्छ र अनेक भिन्न-भिन्न मानिसहरू विरूद्ध गरिन्छ । भेदभावले हामी कहाँ बस्न सक्छौं र हाम्रो छिमेकीहरू को-को हुन सक्छन् भन्ने कुरालाई सीमित पारेर सबैलाई असर गर्छ । गैरकानूनी भेदभाव (निषेधित आधारहरू) निष्पक्ष आवासीय कानूनहरूले आवासमा हुने भेदभावबाट सुरक्षित गर्दछ । यदि भेदभाव गरिने कारण कानूनमा सूचीबद्धछ भने भेदभाव गैरकानूनी हुन्छ । यदि भेदभाव गरिने कारण कानूनमा सूचीबद्धछैन भने भेदभाव गैरकानूनी हुँदैन । उदाहरणहरू: - “म तपाईंलाई भाडामा दिनेछैन किनभने तपाईं अफ्रिकी हुनुहुन्छ ।” जाति, वर्ण वा राष्ट्रिय मूलमा आधारित गैरकानूनी भेदभाव हुन्छ । - “म तपाईंलाई भाडामा दिनेछैन किनभने तपाईं धुम्रपान गर्नुहुन्छ ।” गैरकानूनी भेदभाव हुँदैन । निम्न निषेधित आधारहरूमा आवासको सम्बन्धमा कसैलाई भेदभाव वा दुर्व्यवहार गर्न जोकोहीलाई पनि गैरकानूनी हुन्छ: - जाति - वर्ण - राष्ट्रिय मूल/वंश - संस्कृति - धर्म - विकलांगता - परिवार - लिंग - लैंगिक - यौनिक झुकाव - उमेर - सार्वजनिक सहायता - वैवाहिक स्थिति - र अधिक घरमालिक, भूसम्पत्तिको प्रतिनिधि, ब्यांक, छिमेकी, नगर वा अन्य मानिसहरूले आवासको बारेमा निर्णय गर्दा अन्य कुराहरूलाई जाँच्न सक्छन् । उदाहरणको लागि, तिनीहरूले तपाईंले आवासको खर्च वहन गर्न सक्नुहुन्छ भनेर सुनिश्चित गर्न सक्छन् । घरमालिकले घरमालिकहरूको सन्दर्भहरू माग्न सक्छन् । तर तिनीहरूले माथिका सूचीबद्धकुनैपनि कारणहरूले गर्दा तपाईंलाई आवास अस्वीकार गर्न, भिन्न नियमहरू बनाउन वा तपाईंको बारेमा अनुमान लगाउन सक्दैनन् । उदाहरणको लागि: - घरमालिकले तपाईं एकल महिला भएकोले तपाईंले भाडा तिर्न सक्नुहुन्न भनेर अनुमान लगाउन सक्दैन । - धेरै परिवार अलग-अलग बस्ने साझा घर (condo) को संस्थाले तपाईंको विकलांगताले गर्दा तपाईं आफ्नो दममा बसोबास गर्न सक्नुहुन्न भनेर अनुमान लगाउन सक्दैन । - नगरले मानिसहरूलाई क्रिसमसमा आफ्नो घर सजाउन अनुमति दिने तर रमजान मनाउन अरूहरूलाई सजाउनको लागि अनुमति नदिन पाउँदैन ।
