WHAT ARE YOUR HOUSING RIGHTS?

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

• The Fair Housing Amendments Act is enforced by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), by state or local human relations commissions, state agencies handling discrimination issues, local fair housing agencies, and by the courts. The HUD Fair Housing Complaint Hotline is 1-800-669-9777; (TDD) 1-800-543-8294.
• In addition to the Fair Housing Amendments Act, many other federal, state and local laws affect landlords and tenants. Residents of public or federally subsidized housing have additional legal rights. To find out more about these rights, contact the local Fair Housing Council.
