Fair Housing Complaint

Housing Discrimination is prohibited by Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 and by the North Carolina State Fair Housing Act. It is against the law to deny someone housing because of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, handicap or family status (presence of children). This includes refusing to sell, rent or lease housing; lying about the availability of housing; and evicting someone from housing. Also, it is against the law to discriminate in terms or conditions of housing, such as rent, security deposits, sale prices and financing.
