Examples of housing discrimination are:

Refusing to sell or rent housing
Evicting someone from housing
Lying about the availability of housing
Discrimination in the terms or conditions of housing, such as: rent, security deposits, housing sale prices, use of facilities, financing

Cases:

A rental manager charges minority tenants a larger security deposit or higher rent than white tenants.

A landlord checks the credit records of Black and Hispanic applicants and uses small credit problems as an exuse to refuse to rent to them

A person of color answers a newspaper ad for an apartment or house. The landlord tells him/her that the apartment has already been rented. It turns out the apartment was not rented, and the landlord later rents it to a white applicant.

A newspaper ad says that housing is available for "white" applicants.

A resident manager refuses to rent an apartment or house to a family with children, will only allow families with children to live in certain buildings or on certain floors, or charges families higher security deposits.
