What if I am sexually harassed?

1/11/2022

​Fair housing laws prohibit sexual harassment, considering it a type of sex discrimination. This means that it is illegal for a landlord to demand sexual favors in exchange for housing or for making repairs. It is also illegal for a landlord to create or allow a hostile housing environment through sexual harassment. A hostile housing environment means that a landlord, landlord’s employee, or agent engages in unwelcome sexual behavior that either creates an intimating, hostile, or abusive housing environment or unreasonably interferes with a tenant’s housing. You can file a fair housing complaint against your landlord if they are covered by fair housing laws.
