Home Buying
Rights
Pennsylvania real estate tips
Teri Freed has become one of the top ERA Excellence realtors
in Chester County and the surrounding areas, because she takes
the time to educate her clients. In our society, it's important
to know your rights, especially housing and property rights.
A long-time buyer of real estate and homes for sale in Chester
County, Teri has an expert grasp of housing and property rights
in the state of Pennsylvania.
The Fair Housing Act (title VIII of the Civil Rights Act,
1988) prohibits discrimination in housing because of race,
color, national origin, religion, sex, handicap or familial
status (i.e. whether or not you have children). In some circumstances,
the Act does not apply to owner-occupied buildings with no more
than four units, single-family housing sold or rented without
the use of an agent, and housing operated by organizations and
private clubs that limit occupancy to members. But in most situations,
the Fair Housing Act protects home buyers from unfair discrimination.
Teri is happy to provide a brief explanation
of the Fair Housing Act:
Under the law, a person selling or renting a dwelling cannot
take any of the following actions based on race, color,
national origin, religion, sex, familial status or handicap:
- Refuse to rent or sell housing
- Refuse to negotiate for housing
- Make housing unavailable
- Deny a dwelling
- Set different terms, conditions or privileges for the
sale or rental of a dwelling
- Provide different housing services or facilities
- Falsely deny that housing is available for inspection,
sale or rental
- Deny anyone access to or membership in a facility or service
(such as multiple listing service) related to the sale or
rental of housing
You also have a right to fair mortgage lending.
No one may take any of the following actions based on race,
color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status or
handicap:
- Refuse to make a mortgage loan
- Refuse to provide information regarding loans
- Impose different terms or conditions on a loan
- Discriminate in appraising property
- Refuse to purchase a loan
- Set different terms or conditions for purchasing a
loan
In addition, it is illegal
for anyone to:
1. Threaten, coerce, intimidate or interfere with anyone
exercising a fair housing right or assisting others who
exercise that right.
2. Advertise or make any statements that indicate a limitation
or preference based on race, color, national origin, religion,
sex, familial status or handicap.
