Tweet Fair Housing & Civil Rights : Who Do The Laws Apply To ?                                              Do you know about the changes to the laws in the Federal Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988? What are some of the changes and how do they affect individuals with disabilities and families with children? Do the fair housing laws require that the same tenant rules be applied to families with children that are applied to adults? Can landlords charge different amounts for rent or security deposits because a child is a tenant? The common landlord argument is that children are unruly and destroy property. We all know that adults can become much worse than children, however. What are your experiences with this type of landlord-tenant issue, and how do you view fair housing and the laws affecting the relationship?

APR 29 2008 The rule is to treat every one the same.  Do not take into account race, religion, national origin, gender, or age when making a decision to sell or rent.  You can discriminate based on income, rental/ownship history, and credit (economic issues).  Fair Housing is the law and must be followed.  If you stick to the economic elements you will have better tenants and stay clear of complaints.
