The Fair Housing Act

The Federal Fair Housing Act (Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, as amended) prohibits discrimination in the sale, rental, and financing of housing based on the following protected classes:

• Race
• Color
• Religion
• Sex (including sexual orientation and gender identity)
• National origin
• Familial status (families with children under 18, pregnant persons, or persons securing custody of children)
• Disability (physical or mental)

In addition to federal protections, the State of Arizona and local municipalities may provide additional protections under their own fair housing laws.
