Fair Housing Laws in Maryland Ben Frederick Realty

1. Brokers and landlords must protect themselves from unsatisfactory tenants, which is why the tenant screening process is necessary. Discriminating based on objective criteria means that the landlord is not discriminating based on any of the protected classes. For Ben Frederick, there are three criteria that every tenant must meet. 1. The tenant must have an income to support the rent. 2. They must have good credit, or reasonable credit, and must not have a criminal background that could be negative to the community. 3. They must have an excellent rental history. Some landlords discriminate based on other objective criteria, such as discriminating against pet owners and smokers.

Laws Against Housing Discrimination The Maryland …

1. Federal law prohibits discrimination in the rental, sale, advertising and financing of housing on the basis of your race, color, religion, gender, national origin, family status, i.e., pregnancy or having custody of a child under age 18 or disability. Maryland and many of its local jurisdictions have at least similar laws, as well as additional protections. The national policy against housing discrimination is defined in the federal Fair Housing Act of 1968. In addition, there are provisions in the Civil Rights Act of 1866 which the Supreme Court of the United States has interpreted as prohibiting “all racial discrimination, private as well as public, in the sale or rental of property.” Unlike the 1968 law, the 1866 law contains no exceptions and no limit on the amount of damages which can be awarded to a plaintiff.
