Fair
Housing
Where can I find information about the fair housing
(anti-discrimination) laws of Connecticut?
The Office of Protection and
Advocacy has a self-help publication describing the protections provided to
individuals with disabilities in the sale or rental of certain dwellings, describing
reasonable modifications, listing legal resources and more.
Also, view the HUD Fair Housing
Laws page in English and Spanish
with links to specific federal Fair Housing statutes, executive orders, a formal complaint
form.
Finally, Legal Services has a brochure in English called "What
You Should Know about Housing Discrimination" and a
Spanish
version.
What do I do if I feel that I am a victim of housing
discrimination?
Visit the
Connecticut Commission on Human Rights and
Opportunities (CHRO) web site to obtain information about filing a
housing discrimination complaint.
