It outlawed: Refusal to sell or rent a dwelling to any person because of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.Discrimination based on race, color, religion or national origin in the terms, conditions or privilege of the sale or rental of a dwelling.Advertising the sale or rental of a dwelling indicating preference of discrimination based on race, color, religion or national origin.Coercing, threatening, intimidating, or interfering with a person's enjoyment or exercise of housing rights based on discriminatory reasons or retaliating against a person or organization that aids or encourages the exercise or enjoyment of fair housing rights.I'm wondering if NACA borrowers are protected because the discrimination by realtors/sellers is towards NACA not the actual borrower.
