Housing Discrimination Takes Many Forms
Some examples include:
1. Charging the person a higher security deposit and/or rent than other tenants who do not belong to that protected class.
2. Segregating apartment complexes by putting all African Americans in one building, all Latinos in another and all white tenants in a third.
3. Instituting a policy that people with disabilities can only live on the first floor.
4. Refusing to do repairs or provide services to tenants of a particular protected class, while providing those services and repairs for other tenants.
5. Offering unequal terms in mortgage rates, services or home insurance based on the applicants protected class.
6. Neighborhood hate campaigns aimed at intimidating neighbors of color to leave the community.
7. Potential neighbors intimidating real estate professionals who show homes to people of color.
