Understanding Senior Housing Discrimination
The Fair Housing Act (FHA) prohibits discrimination in housing based on age, disability, race, religion, national origin, sex, or familial status. While age itself is not a federally protected category, discrimination against seniors often falls under disability rights or familial status protections (e.g., if a landlord refuses to rent to an older person based on assumptions about their health or mobility).
Examples of housing discrimination against seniors include:
- Refusing to rent or sell a home because of age.
- Charging higher rent or fees to older tenants.
- Denying reasonable accommodations (such as wheelchair ramps or service animals).
- Steering seniors away from certain housing options.
- Forcing seniors to move based on age or health status.
