FAIR HOUSING IN THE CITY OF ORLANDO

Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 (Fair Housing Act), as amended, and Chapter 57 of the Code of the City of Orlando (Chapter 57) make it illegal to discriminate in the sale, rental and financing of dwellings, and in other housing-related transactions, based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status (includes children under the age of 18 living with parents or legal custodians, pregnant women, and people securing custody of children under the age of 18), and disability (mental or physical).  Additionally, Chapter 57 provides further protection because of marital status and sexual orientation.  It is also illegal to threaten, coerce, intimidate or interfere with anyone exercising their fair housing rights or who may be assisting others in exercising their rights.
