US HR 1447 - The Fair and Equal Housing Act of 2017
On March 21, 2017, NAR sent a letter to Representatives Scott Taylor and Brad Schneider. The letter thanks the Representatives for introducing H.R. 1447, “The Fair and Equal Housing Act of 2017,” which will protect Americans from housing discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. The real estate industry strongly supports equal housing opportunity. The National Association of REALTORS® updated our Code of Ethics in 2009 and 2013 to prohibit REALTORS® from discriminating based on sexual orientation and gender identity, and the Association strongly supports the Representatives’ legislation.
