If you have been treated unfairly because of your race, sex, sexual orientation, age, marital status, religious creed, color, national origin or disability including HIV status, because you intend to occupy a dwelling with minor children, or because you are the recipient of public assistance, then you have experienced illegal discrimination.
Discrimination is not always obvious and can take many forms. It may happen when a landlord refuses to rent you an apartment, or tells you it is unavailable when it is really vacant. It may occur when the terms and conditions of your lease are different from those of the landlord's other tenants. Illegal discrimination can also happen in advertisements.
