Section 222-3 of Mamaroneck Village's Code of Ordinances prohibits discrimination in housing transactions—including sales, rentals, leases, and mortgages—on the basis of characteristics such as race, creed, color, national origin, sex, age, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, military status, lawful source of income, and familial status. The rule covers not only outright refusals to deal but also discriminatory terms, misleading statements about availability, and discriminatory advertising or application forms. It also bars anyone from helping another person violate these prohibitions, and protects people who report violations or participate in related proceedings from retaliation.

Section 222-3 gives residents and applicants in Mamaroneck Village the right to be free from discrimination in any aspect of a housing transaction, from initial inquiry through the terms of occupancy. If a landlord, lender, or their agent appears to have violated this provision—for example, by refusing to negotiate, misrepresenting availability, or retaliating after a complaint—a person may consider filing a complaint with the Village or a relevant fair-housing agency, or consulting a tenant-rights or fair-housing organization for guidance on available options. Participation in any proceeding under ch. 222 is itself protected, meaning adverse action taken in response to a complaint may constitute a separate violation.
