Equal Housing Opportunity
Legacy Real Estate Associates is committed to the letter and spirit of U.S. policy for the achievement of equal housing opportunity. We encourage and support an affirmative advertising and marketing program in which there are no barriers to obtaining housing because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin.
The Federal Fair Housing Act
The federal Fair Housing Act makes it illegal to discriminate in the sale, rental, or financing of housing — or in related services — based on any of the following protected classes:
- Race. Housing decisions may not be based on a person's race.
- Color. Housing decisions may not be based on a person's color.
- National origin. Housing decisions may not be based on where a person or their family is from.
- Religion. Housing decisions may not be based on a person's religion or religious practice.
- Sex. Housing decisions may not be based on a person's sex, including sexual harassment in a housing context.
- Familial status. Housing decisions may not discriminate against families with children under 18, or pregnant persons.
- Disability. Housing decisions may not be based on physical or mental disability, and reasonable accommodations and modifications must be considered.
Some state and local laws may provide broader protections than federal law. If you believe you’ve experienced housing discrimination, you can contact us, and you may also file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) at hud.gov/fairhousing.
Consistent, Written Rental Qualification Criteria
For the rental properties we manage or place tenants in, applicants are evaluated against the same written qualification criteria, applied consistently to every applicant. Property owners who work with us are expected to follow this same approach. Applying consistent, documented standards helps ensure every applicant is treated fairly and helps property owners meet their Fair Housing obligations.
Accessibility & Reasonable Accommodations
Under the Fair Housing Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), individuals with disabilities may be entitled to reasonable accommodations in rules or policies, and reasonable modifications to a dwelling, to allow full use and enjoyment of housing. If you have a request related to a disability, contact us to discuss it. For information about the accessibility of this website specifically, see our Accessibility Statement.
