Fair Housing & Equal Opportunity

Our Commitment to Fair Housing

At Harmony Place, we are committed to ensuring that all individuals and families have the opportunity to find a home that meets their needs. We adhere to the principles of the Fair Housing Act, which prohibits discrimination in housing-related transactions on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, and disability.

Understanding the Fair Housing Act

The Fair Housing Act, enacted in 1968 and amended over the years, is a federal law designed to protect individuals and families from discrimination when renting or purchasing homes, securing financing, or engaging in other housing-related activities. This law applies to all housing providers, including property managers, real estate agents, and lenders, as well as housing developers and landlords.

Under the Fair Housing Act, it is illegal to:

• Refuse to rent or sell housing based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, or disability.
• Set different terms, conditions, or privileges for the sale or rental of a dwelling.
• Deny a dwelling or make it unavailable based on discriminatory criteria.
• Provide different housing services or facilities based on the protected characteristics.
• Advertise or make any statement that indicates a limitation or preference based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, or disability.
