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:
- 宣传和/或劝阻不同宗教信仰的人申请住房。
- 作为物业管理者展示宗教标志。房东展示宗教标志，意味着住房是为某一宗教成员准备的。
- 剥夺租户展示宗教标志的机会。
- 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.
- 要求或告诉某人脱去宗教服装，如围巾、头巾、罩袍、凯菲耶、基帕或任何其他与宗教信仰有关的服装或标志。
- 骚扰或在邻居因某人的宗教信仰而进行骚扰时不采取行动。
- Telling an applicant they will not like the neighborhood because there is no house of worship for their faith nearby
- 将有类似宗教信仰的人分组或要求他们住在大楼的某个区域的公寓里。
- 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.
