The Federal Fair Housing Act makes it illegal to advertise "any preference, limitation, or discrimination because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin, or intention to make such preference, limitation or discrimination." It is illegal to advertise discriminatory terms or conditions, or advertise that the property is available only to persons of a certain race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin.

Applicable state and local laws may also make it illegal to advertise any preference, limitation or discrimination based on age, citizenship, marital status, military discharge status, presence of minor children, pregnancy, sexual preference, source of income, student status, and other personal characteristics.

New Home Notebook supports both the letter and the spirit of these laws. We will not knowingly permit or accept any advertising that violates the law. All users are hereby informed that all advertised dwellings are available on an equal opportunity basis.

Complaints alleging housing discrimination may be filed with your local fair housing office or the nearest office of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), or by calling HUD's toll free number, 1-800-699-9777 (voice), or 1-800-543-8294 (TDD).
