Equal Opportunity in Housing

Our Commitment

The Realty Group Team at Keller Williams is committed to complying with all federal, state, and local fair housing laws. We believe every person has the right to equal housing opportunity regardless of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other protected class under applicable law.

The Fair Housing Act

The Federal Fair Housing Act (Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, as amended) prohibits discrimination in the sale, rental, and financing of housing based on:

  • Race
  • Color
  • National origin
  • Religion
  • Sex (including gender identity and sexual orientation)
  • Familial status (families with children under 18)
  • Disability

Virginia Fair Housing Law

The Virginia Fair Housing Law (Virginia Code 36-96.1 et seq.) provides additional protections beyond federal law. In Virginia, it is also unlawful to discriminate in housing based on:

  • Elderliness (age 55 and older)
  • Source of funds (including housing vouchers and other lawful sources of income)
  • Sexual orientation
  • Gender identity
  • Veteran status
