Fair Housing Statement

Our Commitment to Fair Housing

Propitor is committed to the letter and spirit of the Fair Housing Act and all federal, state, and local fair housing laws. We believe that every person has the right to choose where they live without facing discrimination.

We are dedicated to providing equal professional service to all persons seeking housing without regard to race, color, religion, sex, familial status, national origin, disability, or any other characteristic protected by law.

The Fair Housing Act

The Fair Housing Act, enacted in 1968, prohibits discrimination in the sale, rental, and financing of housing based on:

Race
Color
National Origin
Religion
Sex (including sexual orientation and gender identity)
Familial Status (families with children under 18)
Disability

These protections apply to all housing-related activities, including advertising, showing properties, negotiating terms, and providing financing.

California Fair Housing Laws

In addition to federal protections, California provides additional fair housing protections under the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) and the Unruh Civil Rights Act. These laws prohibit discrimination based on:

All federally protected classes
Sexual orientation
Gender identity and expression
Marital status
Source of income (including housing vouchers)
Genetic information
Immigration status
Primary language
Citizenship
Arbitrary discrimination
