2. Fair Housing Disclosure: Federal, State, and Local Fair Housing Laws protect individuals from housing discrimination. Under New York State Human Rights Laws, it is unlawful to discriminate based on certain protected characteristics such as race, creed, color, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, military status, sex, age, disability, marital status, lawful source of income, or familial status. We as a real estate brokerage firmly stand behind these regulations and hereby attach the NYS Housing and Anti-Discrimination Disclosure Form for your review and signature.
