This applies to ALL advertisements of the property as well. Advertisements of properties for lease or rent cannot contain any discriminatory language regarding race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin.
Tenants Rights
When seeking a property for rent or lease, a tenant has the right to lease or rent the property without discrimination or limitations on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin.
In Case of Possible Discrimination
At Rentandleasehousing.com we take discrimination very seriously. Most of the information regarding rental properties on this site is provided by third parties. Since we have limited control of the content or information provided by third parties in their advertisements, and since we cannot monitor every material provided by third parties, there may occasionally be some unintentional or potentially discriminatory remarks in some of the advertisements. If you come across and suspect any sort of discrimination, please contact our staff at feedback@rentandleasehousing.com, so that we may investigate and immediately remove any such materials.
Also, any complaints alleging discrimination in housing may be filed with the nearest office of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), or by calling HUD’s toll free number, 1-800-669-9777 (voice), or 1-800-543-8294 (TDD).
