Facing Housing Discrimination?
Know Your Tenant Rights Under California’s FEHA
What Is FEHA?
The Fair Employment and Housing Act (and Unruh Civil Rights Act) prohibits housing discrimination in California.
We fight for all renters—and especially for indigent tenants, seniors, immigrants, blue-collar workers, and people with disabilities.
Protected Classes
Race, religion, gender, gender identity/expression, sexual orientation, disability, national origin, citizenship, immigration status, primary language, ancestry, marital status, medical condition, and genetic information.
Local Protections: Beyond FEHA, cities like San Francisco, Oakland, and Berkeley enforce their own anti-discrimination ordinances.
Local Protections
Beyond FEHA, cities like San Francisco, Oakland, and Berkeley enforce their own anti-discrimination ordinances.
Common violations include illegal rent hikes, wrongful eviction schemes in rent-controlled buildings, threats of violence or ICE reporting, and refusals to rent based on protected characteristics, and Tenant Law Group is committed to providing aggressive, professional legal representation to hold landlords accountable and secure justice for victims of housing discrimination.
