California housing discrimination refers to the laws in California that prohibit landlords from unlawful discrimination against tenants. In California, landlords cannot use discrimination when taking actions related to renting or leasing. Generally speaking, actions based on race, age, religion, to discriminate against tenants will all qualify as unlawful discrimination. Primarily, the law concerns landlords who refuse rent to tenants on the basis of discrimination. When choosing tenants, for example, landlords can only use relevant reasoning to disqualify a tenant. Other common discrimination may include refusing to negotiate, denying proper services, canceling an agreement, segregating accommodations, or otherwise harassing the tenant. Similar laws are also in place in every state across the nation to prevent this type of discrimination. Tenants who feel they may have been discriminated against may want to consult with a California housing discrimination lawyer.
