Cal. Civ. Code § 213.120
RSMo ch. 213 — Human Rights
Operative Text
Mo. Rev. Stat. § 213.120 is part of Missouri's Human Rights Act, which broadly prohibits discriminatory practices in housing and related transactions. The provision establishes that certain conduct based on protected characteristics—such as race, color, religion, national origin, sex, ancestry, or disability—is unlawful in the context of housing. Its effect is to set a legal standard against which housing-related actions and decisions are measured in Missouri.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating under Mo. Rev. Stat. § 213.120 are generally expected to apply consistent, non-discriminatory criteria when advertising, renting, selling, or otherwise dealing in residential housing. Compliant operators typically document their policies and apply them uniformly across all applicants and residents regardless of protected class status. Familiarity with the full scope of protected characteristics under this section is a common feature of lawful housing operations in Missouri.
