Fair housing
Accessible housing for everybody
Whether you live in a city, suburban area, or rural community, finding safe, budget friendly housing can be a challenge.
Fortunately, our laws safeguard your right to select where to live without discrimination based on race, religion, sex, or a variety of other attributes.
Federal and our state laws in New York exist to guarantee that equal housing opportunities are readily available to all. Some city governments offer much more securities. This guidance describes a few of those laws and consists of details about what to do if you think a landlord, seller, or lending institution has actually victimized you.
Housing is among life's essentials
