San Francisco Housing Discrimination Attorneys
HOUSING DISCRIMINATION
Landlords, building owners, and house owners have a legal responsibility to be fair when offering housing for sale or rent. They may deny housing to someone who they believe cannot pay the rent, but no property owner has a right to deny someone housing because of:
- Race
- Age
- Sex
- National origin
- Religious affiliation
- Marital status
- Disability
- Disease
- Pregnancy
- Sexual orientation
- Transgenderism
- Height and / or weight (in San Francisco)
At the Dolan Law Firm, we take incidents of housing discrimination very seriously. Lead trial lawyer Christopher Dolan gained a $435,000 settlement for a man who was denied an apartment because he had AIDS. (Visit our verdicts and settlements page to read about other cases handled by Chris Dolan and his team of lawyers.)
If you have been victim of housing discrimination, be sure to take careful records of all your interactions with the discriminatory party. Take note of when you spoke with the landlord or property owner and what was said. Any housing discrimination lawsuit requires proving that the property owner denied housing for an illegal reason, and not because of they perceive an inability on your part to pay rent.
