Relihiyon
There’s no room for religious hate in housing!
Your faith, your culture, and your national origin are all valued under the Fair Housing Act.
Religion was one of the first four protected classes covered by the Fair Housing Act of 1968. People of all religions are protected, including people who have no religion or even the perception of being a part of a religious group.
Remember that you have rights and that there are organizations like HOME available to assist you! Please fill out this form if you are denied because of your religion or beliefs.
You are also protected from harassment in your neighborhood!

Examples of religious discrimination may include:
- Pag-advertise at/o panghihikayat sa mga taong may iba't ibang relihiyon na mag-aplay para sa pabahay.
- Pagpapakita ng mga simbolo ng relihiyon bilang isang tagapamahala ng ari-arian. Ang isang may-ari ng lupa na nagpapakita ng isang relihiyosong simbolo ay nagpapahiwatig na ang pabahay ay para sa mga miyembro ng isang partikular na relihiyon.
- Pagtanggi sa mga nangungupahan ng pagkakataong magpakita ng mga simbolo ng relihiyon.
- Allowing Christian tenants to put up holiday decorations (Christmas lights, Easter bunnies etc.) while refusing to allow other tenants to put up non-Christian holiday decorations.
- Paghiling o pagsasabi sa isang tao na tanggalin ang relihiyosong kasuotan tulad ng scarf, hijab, burka, keiffiyeh, kippah, o anumang iba pang damit o simbolo na nauugnay sa kanilang relihiyon.
- Panliligalig o hindi kumilos kapag ang mga kapitbahay ay nanliligalig dahil sa relihiyon ng isang tao.
- Telling an applicant they will not like the neighborhood because there is no house of worship for their faith nearby
- Pagpapangkat o pag-aatas sa mga may katulad na relihiyon na manirahan sa mga apartment sa isang partikular na lugar ng gusali.
- Prohibiting the use of a community room for religious purposes, while allowing tenants to use them for secular gatherings.
It is important to note that the Fair Housing Act does not just protect you based upon your membership in a protected class. You are also protected from housing discrimination based on the perception of your membership in a protected class.
