Don’t Get Fair Housing Wrong

🚨 DC Landlords 🚨

As a landlord in Washington, DC, you MUST stay informed about Fair Housing laws to protect yourself and your tenants. Here’s what you need to know to stay compliant:

💡 Did You Know?
DC law prohibits housing discrimination based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex, disability, family status, marital status, personal appearance, sexual orientation, gender identity, political affiliation, source of income, or age.

🏠 What This Means for You:
✅ Accept All Legal Income Sources – This includes housing vouchers, subsidies, or any lawful form of payment covering part or all of the rent.
✅ Respect All Tenants Equally – Screen tenants fairly based on their qualifications, not their personal circumstances or identities.
✅ Be Proactive – Familiarize yourself with fair housing requirements and ensure your policies, leases, and advertisements align with the law.

⚠️ Failure to comply could lead to costly fines or legal action. Avoid misunderstandings by educating yourself and training your staff.
