Equal Housing Opportunity
We are pledged to the letter and spirit of U.S. policy for the achievement of equal housing opportunity throughout the Nation. We encourage and support an affirmative advertising and marketing program in which there are no barriers to obtaining housing because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin.
The Fair Housing Act
The Fair Housing Act declares a national policy of fair housing throughout the United States. The law makes illegal any discrimination in the sale, lease or rental of housing, or making housing otherwise unavailable, because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin.
Maryland Fair Housing Laws
In addition to federal laws, Maryland law prohibits discrimination in housing based on marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, and source of income. We strictly adhere to all state and local fair housing regulations to ensure every client is treated with fairness, dignity, and respect.
