a jewish organization owns a small apartment complex. it wants to rent housing to only jewish tenants. under the federal fair housing act, is this legal?

Respuesta :

Yes. The Fair Housing Act does not apply to religious organizations that rent to tenants for residential reasons.

When did the Fair Housing Act mention religion?

The 1968 Act strengthened earlier laws by forbidding discrimination in the purchase, leasing, and financing of housing on the grounds of race, religion, national origin, se-x, and, as amended, disability and family status. The prohibition of racial discrimination in home sales and rents was one of the main goals of the Fair Housing Act when Congress passed it in 1968.

The Fair Housing Act failed for what reasons?

The FHA may have been written with tougher enforcement mechanisms, but the bigger reason it didn't offer integrated living patterns is that it was weakened by the rules, regulations, institutions, and subsidies that control and influence the housing industry.
