New laws target housing discrimination

New laws target housing discrimination New laws target housing discrimination By Enzo Domingo | April 15, 2021 at 6:17 PM EDT - Updated April 15 at 7:19 PM RICHMOND, Va. (WWBT) - Starting Friday, landlords and property owners will no longer be able to turn away potential tenants receiving government assistance. More roofs overheads is the goal of the new protections under the Virginia Fair Housing Law. Advocates say some landlords would steer tenants towards less desirable properties or even turn them away if they were receiving any sort of assistance. The changes stop landlords from discriminating against potential tenants whose source of income may have come from things like social security insurance, disability benefits, child support, and all forms of government housing assistance.
