Discriminatory terms
Operative Text
Discrimination against any person in the terms, conditions, or privileges of sale or rental of a dwelling, or in the provision of services or facilities in connection therewith, because of factors set forth in Section 19.04.010 .
Section 19.08.010 of Harwood Heights Title 19 Fair Housing prohibits treating people differently in the terms, conditions, or privileges of a dwelling's sale or rental — or in the services and facilities connected to it — based on the protected characteristics listed in Section 19.04.010. This means that the specific conditions offered to one person cannot be made more or less favorable than those offered to another solely because of those protected factors. The rule applies to the full range of rental and sale arrangements, not just the initial offer.
