Equal Housing Opportunity
Fair Housing Policy
BriteDoor is committed to and abides by the Fair Housing Act and Equal Opportunity Act.
Our Commitment
BriteDoor is pledged to the letter and spirit of U.S. policy for the achievement of equal housing opportunity throughout the Nation. We encourage and support an affirmative advertising and marketing program in which there are no barriers to obtaining housing because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin.
We will not discriminate against any person because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, national origin, or any other basis protected by federal, state, or local law. All real estate advertised herein is subject to the Federal Fair Housing Act.
The Fair Housing Act
The Fair Housing Act (Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968) prohibits discrimination in the sale, rental, and financing of housing based on seven protected characteristics. It applies to most housing, with limited exceptions for owner-occupied buildings with no more than four units, single-family housing sold or rented without a real estate broker, and housing operated by organizations and private clubs that limit occupancy to members.
The Equal Opportunity in Housing Act extended these protections and strengthened enforcement mechanisms to ensure all Americans have access to fair housing.
