When you are advertising for a rental unit in your property, you should be savvy of The Fair Housing Act legislation. The legislation states that it is illegal for a landlord to advertise a rental property that discriminates against people against skin color, disability, religion, familial status, race, gender, or heritage. Most violations of the Fair Housing Act are committed during the advertising stage. If you are reported and investigated for violating this act and you are found guilty, you could be fined.Always ensure that you describe the property and not who you feel would be the best tenant.
