The Fair Housing Act is essential in ensuring that everyone has equal access to housing opportunities, free from discrimination.
The Fair Housing Act protects homebuyers from discrimination as they get a mortgage, rent a home, seek housing assistance, or participate in other housing-related activities. It prevents discrimination based on race, color, sex, national origin, religion, disability, or familial status. The state of Montana goes further to protect against discrimination based on age, creed or marital status.
REALTORS® recognize the significance of the Fair Housing Act and reconfirm their commitment to upholding fair housing laws as well as their commitment to offering equal professional service to all in their search for real property.
Real estate professionals and consumers depend on strong fair housing laws and practices for our communities and economy to thrive. Discrimination distorts the housing market and closes the door on the American dream of homeownership for qualified buyers.
