Fair Housing Act

The Fair Housing Act is another disability rights law, that makes sure people with disabilities have housing rights. It is called the FHA for short. Here are a few rights you get from the FHA:

  • If you want to rent an apartment, landlords can’t say no because of your disability.
  • If you want to buy a house, sellers can’t say no because of your disability.
  • Your landlord has to let you put a ramp at your apartment if you need one.
  • If you have a service dog, your landlord has to let it live with you, even if dogs usually aren’t allowed.
