FAQ

Title VIII of the Act is also known as the Fair Housing Act (of 1968).

This law prohibits people or entities that provide housing from discriminating against or harassing tenants, homeowners, residents, their guests, housing or mortgage applicants, home buyers, and others.

However, discrimination is a state of mind and, therefore, notoriously hard to prove. Sophisticated employers are well aware that discrimination is illegal. Thus, most cases are established through circumstantial evidence.

Examples of direct evidence of discrimination include openly discriminatory statements during a verbal or written exchange between a landlord and a tenant, an advertisement for a rental property stating a discriminatory preference, and discriminatory rules and policies.

Federal, state, and local laws prohibit racial and other discrimination in housing. Nonetheless, discrimination persists and can be difficult to prove. Winning a case may require good documentation and patience. Fair housing groups can render assistance.

It is important to note, that just because disability is the most common basis for filed fair housing complaints, it does not necessarily mean that it is the one that occurs most often.

In general, a complaint of housing discrimination must be filed within one year from the date an alleged discriminatory act occurred.

HUD will provide the party against whom the allegation has been filed notice and an opportunity to respond to the allegations. HUD may gather evidence in many ways, including interviewing parties and witnesses, getting documents, and inspecting properties.
