If a landlord is discriminating against you based on your race or national origin, you may have legal options to pursue.
Firstly, it is important to determine if your state or city has anti-discrimination laws that protect against discrimination in housing based on race or national origin. If so, you can file a complaint with your state or city's fair housing agency or the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
You can also consider filing a lawsuit against the landlord for violating the Fair Housing Act, a federal law that prohibits discrimination in housing on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, or disability. To do so, you will need to hire an attorney and gather evidence to support your claim, such as witness statements or documentation of discriminatory behavior.
It is important to note that there are potential limitations or exceptions to these actions, such as landlords who own and reside in a smaller property may be exempt from certain anti-discrimination laws. Additionally, it may be difficult to prove discrimination in some cases, making legal action challenging.
If you are facing discrimination from your landlord, it is recommended that you speak with an experienced attorney to discuss your options and develop a strategy for pursuing legal action.
