Equal Housing Opportunity

Federal law. The Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C. 3604) prohibits discrimination in housing because of race, color, religion, sex, disability (the statute says handicap), familial status or national origin.

Florida law. The Florida Fair Housing Act, section 760.23 of the Florida Statutes, protects race, color, national origin, sex, disability, familial status and religion. Section 760.23(6) extends the familial-status protection to any person who is pregnant or is securing legal custody of a minor, and section 760.22 defines disability to include a developmental disability.

Miami-Dade County. The county goes furthest. Section 11A-12 of the Miami-Dade County Code (current version of 23 September 2026) makes it unlawful for any person, owner, financial institution, real estate broker, agent or representative to discriminate in housing because of any of the following:

• race, color, religion, ancestry or national origin;
• age, sex or pregnancy;
• disability;
• marital status or familial status;
• gender identity, gender expression or sexual orientation;
• source of income;
• actual or perceived status as a victim of domestic violence, dating violence or stalking.

• No advertisement, page or statement on this site states or implies a preference, limitation or discrimination based on any protected class.
• Pages never describe who lives in a building or an area, and never judge a neighborhood. The languages named are those the broker works in, never the neighbors'.
• Pet rules quoted on this site always allow assistance animals as the law requires.
• Every language version carries the same facts, buildings and sections.
