SerenityLease supports equal housing opportunity and prohibits discrimination on our platform.
SerenityLease is committed to the principles of fair housing and equal opportunity. Listings, applications, screening, and leasing on this platform must comply with all applicable fair-housing laws. Discrimination has no place here.
The federal Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination in housing because of race, color, national origin, religion, sex (including sexual orientation and gender identity), familial status (including children under 18 and pregnancy), and disability.
California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) and related laws add further protected characteristics, including marital status, ancestry, source of income (including housing vouchers such as Section 8), age, genetic information, immigration/citizenship status, primary language, military or veteran status, and more. Many cities and counties add their own protections.
If you list, screen, or lease through this platform, you are responsible for fair-housing compliance. That includes: applying consistent, objective screening criteria to every applicant; not refusing lawful sources of income where protected; writing listing copy and advertising that doesn’t express a preference, limitation, or discrimination; and providing reasonable accommodations and modifications for people with disabilities. Use the same standards for every applicant.
Landlords must consider reasonable accommodations in rules, policies, or services (for example, an assistance animal despite a no-pet policy) and reasonable modifications when needed for a person with a disability to use and enjoy a dwelling.
If you believe you’ve experienced housing discrimination, you can file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) at hud.gov, or, in California, with the Civil Rights Department (calcivilrights.ca.gov). You may also contact us at fairhousing@serenitylease.com.
