FEHA Protections
Discrimination is painful, and when it happens, it can be challenging to know where to turn. Additionally, if a landlord is intimidating or threatening you, you may be afraid to seek help or come forward, fearing retaliation and other related issues.
The FEHA and the Unruh Civil Rights Act protect California renters from housing discrimination, and the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) enforce these laws. Individual cities, such as San Francisco, Oakland, and Berkeley, have further laws and ordinances protecting against discrimination.
