Fair Housing 101
You may have
noticed that all Realtors feature a little
"house" symbol, the letters "EHO" or the phrase
"Equal Housing Opportunity" in their advertising,
but what does this mean to you?
Simply put: You have the right to buy any home you can afford in any neighborhood. The Fair Housing Act (Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act, 1988) makes it illegal to discriminate because of such factors as race, color, national origin, religion, sex, handicap or familial status (that is, whether you are pregnant or have children). Further, Virginia statute prohibits discrimination on the basis of elderliness. In discussing fair housing, "discrimination" means unfairly denying someone the right to own or rent a house or apartment.
Realtors are committed to protecting your rights under Fair Housing Laws.
