Fair Housing Statement

The 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 housing based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, and disability. The Act applies to virtually all housing transactions, including advertising, application screening, leasing, and property management.

Ohio Fair Housing Law

Ohio Revised Code Chapter 4112 provides additional protections against discrimination in housing based on race, color, religion, sex, ancestry, disability, familial status, national origin, and military status. WhiteStone Real Estate complies fully with all applicable Ohio civil rights statutes.
