Fair Housing & You

Report a Listing

All real estate advertised herein is subject to the Federal Fair Housing Act, which makes it illegal to advertise "any preference, limitation, or discrimination because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin, or intention to make any such preference, limitation, or discrimination." Many states, counties, and municipalities have additional protected classes.

If you suspect a rental listing on Rentari.ai is a fair housing violation, send it to our trust & safety team using the form below. Prefer email? Write to fairhousing@rentari.ai.

Describe the actual listing, dates and relevant wording without sending identity numbers, payment credentials or unnecessary medical records. A report to Rentari is a platform concern; it does not file an allegation with HUD, establish a legal violation or confirm removal of a listing.

You can separately review HUD's housing-discrimination reporting options. HUD advises reporting promptly because time limits apply. Use its current instructions and keep the relevant event and communication records; do not wait for a platform response to decide whether to seek official help.

For day-to-day advertising, criteria and accommodation review, read Rentari's public fair-housing guide and the listing-concern checklist.

Fair Housing for Landlords

Legally run your rental business without any disruptions. Understanding your rights and obligations as a landlord is key to preventing conflicts and ensuring a smooth rental experience. Ensure your tenant screening process, marketing language, and lease agreements comply with all federal and state fair housing laws.

Federal and state resources

Start with the question and location. Use HUD's fair-housing information for federal discrimination questions and review the state and local rules that apply to the home. Keep advertising, application criteria, accommodation requests and ordinary lease notices as separate review questions. Rentari's state-law starting points help identify the relevant jurisdiction; a general resource page does not establish that a particular action is permitted.

Find an official fair-housing agency. HUD's Fair Housing Assistance Program overview explains its work with qualifying state and local enforcement agencies. Its partner-agency directory provides official contacts. Review the appropriate agency's current instructions and preserve relevant records; a report to Rentari remains separate from an official complaint.

Distinguish model acts from enacted law. The Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act and its revised version provide model legislation for states. They are not a single federal rental code that applies everywhere. The Uniform Law Commission's current-acts catalog provides background on the revised act. Check the jurisdiction's enacted version, amendments and local requirements for the actual tenancy.
