Notice about prohibited housing discrimination practices in Hampton.

City of Hampton
NOTICE OF FAIR HOUSING
This notice will serve to advise all residents of the City of Hampton that the following actions, if based on race, color, sex, national origin, religion, familial status (families with children), or handicap (disability) are prohibited by Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 (Federal Fair Housing Act):
• Refusing to sell or rent to, deal or negotiate with any person.
• Discriminating on terms or conditions for buying or renting housing.
• Discriminating by advertising that housing is available only to persons of a certain race, color, religion, sex, national origin, familial status, handicap (disability), age, ancestry or with no animals.
• Denying that housing is available for inspection, sale or rent when it really is available.
• Denying or making different terms or conditions for home loans by financial institutions.
• Denying to anyone the use of or participation in any real estate services, multiple listing services or other facilities related to the selling and renting of housing.
• “Blockbusting” and “steering” are two discriminatory practices that are also prohibited by the Act. Blockbusting includes engaging in conduct which conveys the impression that a neighborhood is about to undergo certain changes and, thus, panic owners into selling their properties. Steering involves guiding an individual seeking housing toward or away from particular property for discriminatory reasons.
