Fair Housing Laws

Under the federal Fair Housing Act and the New Hampshire Law Against Discrimination, it is illegal to discriminate in the rental, sale, or financing of housing based on someone's race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, disability, age, sexual orientation, marital status, or gender identity.
