Equal Housing Opportunity

It is illegal to discriminate in the sale, rental or leasing of housing because of a person’s race, color, creed, national origin, sexual orientation, marital status, familial status, or religion.

In New York City and in other municipalities in the state, it is also illegal to discriminate against people based on their source of income, including receipt of Section 8 or other public benefits.
