of Contents

 

               Subpart B_Discriminatory Housing Practices

 

Sec.  100.50  Real estate practices prohibited.





    (a) This subpart provides the Department's interpretation of conduct 

that is unlawful housing discrimination under section 804 and section 

806 of the Fair Housing Act. In general the prohibited actions are set 

forth under sections of this subpart which are most applicable to the 

discriminatory conduct described. However, an action illustrated in one 

section can constitute a violation under sections in the subpart. For 

example, the conduct described in Sec.  100.60(b)(3) and (4) would 

constitute a violation of Sec.  100.65(a) as well as Sec.  100.60(a).

    (b) It shall be unlawful to:

    (1) Refuse to sell or rent a dwelling after a bona fide offer has 

been made, or to refuse to negotiate for the sale or rental of a 

dwelling because of race, color, religion, sex, familial status, or 

national origin, or to discriminate in the sale or rental of a dwelling 

because of handicap.

    (2) Discriminate in the terms, conditions or privileges of sale or 

rental of a dwelling, or in the provision of services or facilities in 

connection with sales or rentals, because of race, color, religion, sex, 

handicap, familial status, or national origin.

    (3) Engage in any conduct relating to the provision of housing which 

otherwise makes unavailable or denies dwellings to persons because of 

race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national 

origin.

    (4) Make, print or publish, or cause to be made, printed or 

published, any notice, statement or advertisement with respect to the 

sale or rental of a dwelling that indicates any preference, limitation 

or discrimination because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, 

familial status, or national origin, or an intention to make any such 

preference, limitation or discrimination.

    (5) Represent to any person because of race, color, religion, sex, 

handicap, familial status, or national origin that a dwelling is not 

available for sale or rental when such dwelling is in fact available.

    (6) Engage in blockbusting practices in connection with the sale or 

rental of dwellings because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, 

familial status, or national origin.

    (7) Deny access to or membership or participation in, or to 

discriminate against any person in his or her access to or membership or 

participation in, any multiple-listing service, real estate brokers' 

association, or other service organization or facility relating to the 

business of selling or renting a dwelling or in the terms or conditions 

or membership or participation, because of race, color, religion, sex, 

handicap, familial status, or national origin.

    (c) The application of the Fair Housing Act with respect to persons 

with handicaps is discussed in subpart D of this part.
