    Fair housing laws: how we are secured

    The federal Fair Housing Act, the New York City State Human Rights Law, and various regional laws restrict discrimination by housing service providers (consisting of owners, property representatives, managing agents, developing superintendents, and cooperative and condominium boards), and lending institutions (banks and mortgage business).

    - The Federal Fair Housing Act makes it illegal to discriminate on the basis of a person's race, familial status (existence of children under age 18), color, national origin, religion, special needs (physical or psychological), or sex.
