This page is not intended to provide a mandatory standard of care for the industry. Please consult with local counsel before taking any action based off of the information provided.
On these pages, you will find information about 1) the protected classes in each state’s fair housing law, 2) protected classes in the cities and counties in the state’s three largest city or metropolitan areas, and 3) protected class information in additional jurisdictions of interest to NAA members. We highlight source of income protections, where applicable, that could substantially impact industry operations. Please see the footnotes. NAA also has resources on the federal fair housing protections that apply nationwide.
We are currently in the process of optimizing NAA’s Fair Housing Protected Class Resources. If you do not see a jurisdiction of interest, please reach out to the NAA Government Affairs Team at [email protected] .
Information on this page is current as of September 2022.
1 This protected class was found in a local fair housing source, not statutory code.
PLEASE NOTE: Indiana Code §36-1-3-8.5 states that a unit may not adopt or enforce an ordinance that requires or would have the effect of requiring a landlord to participate in: (1) a Section 8 program of the federal Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437f); or (2) a similar program concerning housing. This preempts any local source of income protections.
