Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 prohibits discrimination in the sale, rental, and financing of dwellings based on:

The Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988 expands the coverage of Title VIII to:

  1. Strengthen the administrative enforcement provisions of Title VIII.

The following actions are considered to be discriminatory under the Fair Housing Law:
  • Refusing to sell, rent, deal, or negotiate with any person.
  • Discriminating in terms or conditions for buying or renting.
  • Advertising that housing is available only to persons of a certain race, color, religion, sex, national origin, or of a specific family size.
  • Denying that housing is available for inspection, sale or rent when is really is available.
  • "Blockbusting" -persuading owners to sell or rent housing by telling that minority groups are moving in the neighborhood.
  • Denying or making difference terms or conditions for home loans by commercial lenders, such as banks, savings and loans, and insurance companies.
