Ian Greenen and Douglas Elliman Real Estate are pledged to the letter and spirit of U.S. policy for the achievement of equal housing opportunity throughout the nation. We encourage and support an affirmative advertising and marketing program in which there are no barriers to obtaining housing because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin.
Federal Fair Housing Act
The federal Fair Housing Act (Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, as amended) prohibits discrimination in the sale, rental, and financing of dwellings, and in other housing-related transactions, based on the following protected classes:
- Race
- Color
- National origin
- Religion
- Sex (including sexual orientation and gender identity, per 2021 HUD guidance)
- Familial status
- Disability
Florida Fair Housing Act
The Florida Fair Housing Act (Chapter 760, Part II, Florida Statutes) mirrors federal protections and is enforced by the Florida Commission on Human Relations. It prohibits discriminatory housing practices statewide based on the same protected classes listed above.
Palm Beach County & Local Protections
Palm Beach County’s Equal Housing Ordinance and the City of West Palm Beach Human Rights Ordinance extend fair housing protections beyond federal and state law to also include:
- Sexual orientation
- Gender identity and expression
- Age
- Marital status
- Lawful source of income
If you believe you have been discriminated against in a housing transaction within Palm Beach County, you may have rights under local ordinances in addition to federal and state law.
