Fair Housing for Renters

Fair housing laws prohibit discrimination in any activity relating to the sale or rental of dwellings, financing or insuring housing, the terms and conditions related to housing, or harassment that is based on your race, color, religion, disability, familial status, national origin or sex.

In Michigan, housing laws also prohibit discrimination that is based on an individual’s age or marital status. Additional protected classes may also apply within local jurisdictions.
