Cal. Civ. Code § 910-2-2-3
Discrimination in terms, conditions, privileges, services, and facilities
Operative Text
Sec. 3. (a) It shall be unlawful to impose different terms, conditions, or privileges relating to the sale or rental of a dwelling or to deny or limit services or facilities in connection with the sale or rental of a dwelling because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin. (b) Prohibited actions under this section include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) Using different provisions in a lease or contract of sale, such as those relating to rental charges, security deposits, and terms of a lease and those relating to down payment and closing requirements because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin. (2) Failing or delaying maintenance or repairs of sale or rental dwellings because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin. (3) Failing to process an offer for the sale or rental of a dwelling or to communicate an offer accurately because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin. (4) Limiting the use of privileges, services, or facilities associated with a dwelling because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin or an owner, tenant, or person associated with him or her. (5) Denying or limiting services or facilities in connection with the sale or rental of a dwelling because a person failed or refused to provide sexual favors.
Under 910 IAC 2 § 910-2-2-3, it is unlawful in Indiana to apply different lease terms, security deposits, maintenance standards, or access to services and facilities based on a person's race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin. The rule also explicitly prohibits conditioning any housing benefit on the provision of sexual favors. These protections apply across the full range of rental and sale transactions, from the initial offer stage through the ongoing tenancy or ownership relationship.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators subject to 910 IAC 2 § 910-2-2-3 generally apply uniform lease provisions, security deposit schedules, and maintenance response timelines regardless of a resident's or applicant's protected characteristics. Compliant property managers ensure that all offers to rent or purchase are processed and communicated accurately and without delay, and that amenities, services, and common facilities are made equally available to all residents. Conditioning any housing benefit or service on sexual favors is expressly prohibited under this section and exposes an operator to fair-housing liability.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
910 IAC 2 § 910-2-2-3 gives tenants and prospective tenants the right to equal treatment in lease terms, maintenance, services, and facility access, free from discrimination based on protected characteristics including race, sex, handicap, and familial status. If a tenant believes these rights have been violated — for example, through delayed repairs, unequal lease terms, or coercive demands — general enforcement paths include filing a complaint with the Indiana Civil Rights Commission or the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Tenant-rights organizations can also help individuals understand how this provision may apply to their circumstances.
