GOOD CREDIT. GOOD JOBS. GOOD REFERENCES. BUT THE LANDLORD DENIED THEM THE APARTMENT BECAUSE OF THEIR RACE. AND THIS HAPPENS EVERY DAY. It’s against the law for landlords to deny your application, give you the run around, charge you more rent, or steer you away from a rental complex or neighborhood because of your race. If you suspect housing discrimination, file a complaint with HUD or your local fair housing center, so we can investigate it. To file a complaint, go to hud.gov/fairhousing or call 1-800-669-9777 FAIR HOUSING IS YOUR RIGHT. USE IT. A public service message from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in partnership with the National Fair Housing Alliance. The federal Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination because of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, familial status or disability. For more information, visit www.hud.gov/fairhousing.
