Under the Fair Housing Act, it is unlawful to refuse to sell or rent a dwelling based on protected characteristics, such as race, color, religion, sex, familial status, national origin, or disability. Refusing to show available housing to a prospective tenant based on their religion is a clear example of discrimination prohibited under federal law. Other actions, such as limiting advertisement phrases to factual descriptions or refusing to rent to someone without credit history, are not inherently discriminatory unless tied to a protected characteristic.
