Frequently Asked Questions

Knowledge is Power

The Fair Housing Act protects people from discrimination when they are renting or buying a home, getting a mortgage, seeking housing assistance, or engaging in other housing-related activities.

The Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination in housing because of:

  • Race
  • Color
  • National Origin
  • Religion
  • Sex
  • Familial Status
  • Disability

Colorado's fair housing laws are more expansive than the federal fair housing law - as Colorado has more protected classes (ancestry, creed, marital status, sexual orientation, and source of income), and it applies to more properties (federal law does not apply to owner-occupied buildings with four or fewer units).

Advocate for yourself by knowing your fair housing rights, keeping records of all housing interactions, asking questions, and speaking up if something feels unfair. Then contact DMFHC for support.
