Buying and selling real estate is
one of the most significant events that any one person
will experience in their lifetime. It is for this reason
that the Fair Housing Act and other laws were enacted to
guarantee that no one is discriminated in any real
estate transaction on the basis of race, color,
religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national
origin.
VanderMorgan Realty fully supports the principles of the
Fair Housing Act, which generally prohibits
discrimination in the housing market; and we fully
support and promote the absence of such discrimination.
All parties involved in a real estate transaction,
including the Seller, Buyer, and Real Estate
Professional have rights and responsibilities under the
law.
The Home Seller
As a home seller or landlord, you have a responsibility
and a requirement under the law not to discriminate in
the sale, rental and financing of property on the basis
of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial
status, or national origin. You cannot instruct the
licensed broker or salesperson acting as your agent to
convey for you any limitations in the sale or rental
because the real estate professional is also bound by
law not to discriminate. Under the law, a home seller or
landlord cannot establish discriminatory terms or
conditions in the purchase or rental; deny that housing
is available, or advertise that the property is
available only to persons of a certain race, color,
religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national
origin.
The Home
Buyer
You have the right to expect that housing will be
available to you without discrimination or other
limitations based on race, color, religion, sex,
handicap, familial status, or national origin.
This includes the right to expect:
Housing in your price range made available to you
without discrimination;
Equal professional service;
The opportunity to consider a broad range of housing
choices;
No discriminatory limitations on communities or
locations of housing;
No discrimination in the financing, appraising, or
insuring of housing;
Reasonable accommodations in rules, practices and
procedures for persons with disabilities;
Non-discriminatory terms and conditions for the sale,
rental, financing, or insuring of a dwelling; and
To be free from harassment or intimidation for
exercising your fair housing rights
The Real
Estate Professional
Agents in a real estate transaction are prohibited by
law from discriminating on the basis of race, color,
religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national
origin. A request from the home seller or landlord to
act in a discriminatory manner in the sale, lease or
rental cannot legally be fulfilled by the real estate
professional.
If You
Suspect Discrimination
Call the Local Board of REALTORS® - Local Boards of
REALTORS® will accept complaints alleging violations of
the Code of Ethics filed by a home seeker who alleges
discriminatory treatment in the availability, purchase
or rental of housing. Local Boards of REALTORS® have a
responsibility to enforce the Code of Ethics through
professional standards procedures and corrective action
in cases where a violation of the Code of Ethics is
proven to have occurred.
Call the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development - Complaints alleging discrimination in
housing may be filed with the nearest office of the
United States Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD), or by calling HUD's toll free
numbers, 1-800-669-9777 (voice), or 1-800-543-8294
(TDD).
