  • Deny you property insurance

  • Conduct property appraisals in a discriminatory manner

  • Refuse to make certain modifications or accommodations for persons with a mental or physical disability, including persons recovering from alcohol and substance abuse and HIV/AIDS-related illnesses

  • Harass, coerce, intimidate, or interfere with anyone exercising or assisting someone else with their fair housing rights


Based on these factors:

  • Race

  • Color

  • Religion

  • Sex

  • Familial Status (families with children under the age of 18 or who are expecting a child), or
