Plain English

Mount Carmel Ch. 8½ Discrimination § 8½-27 prohibits differential treatment of people in housing transactions based on characteristics such as race, color, creed, ancestry, national origin, marital status, or physical or mental handicap. The rule covers both the terms and conditions of a sale or rental and the way information, services, or facilities are provided in connection with those transactions. In short, the provision requires that all parties in a housing deal be treated equally regardless of these protected characteristics.

For Property Managers

Under Mount Carmel Ch. 8½ § 8½-27, compliant property owners and managers apply the same rental terms, conditions, and privileges to all applicants and residents without regard to race, color, creed, ancestry, national origin, marital status, or physical or mental handicap. This includes ensuring that information about available units, services, and facilities is offered consistently and without distinction based on any of those characteristics.
