New York State Housing and Anti-Discrimination Disclosure Form
Federal, State and local Fair Housing and Anti-discrimination Laws provide comprehensive protections from discrimination in housing. It is unlawful for any property owner, landlord, property manager or other person who sells, rents or leases housing, to discriminate based on certain protected  haracteristics, which include, but are not limited to race, creed, color, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, military status, sex, age, disability, marital status, lawful source of income or familial
status. Real estate professionals must also comply with all Fair Housing and Anti-discrimination Laws.

Real estate brokers and real estate salespersons, and their employees and agents violate the Law if they:
• Discriminate based on any protected characteristic when negotiating a sale, rental or lease,
including representing that a property is not available when it is available.
• Negotiate discriminatory terms of sale, rental or lease, such as stating a different price because of race,
national origin or other protected characteristic.
• Discriminate based on any protected characteristic because it is the preference of a seller or landlord.
• Discriminate by “steering” which occurs when a real estate professional guides prospective buyers or
renters towards or away from certain neighborhoods, locations or buildings, based on any protected
characteristic.
• Discriminate by “blockbusting” which occurs when a real estate professional represents that a change has
occurred or may occur in future in the composition of a block, neighborhood or area, with respect to any
protected characteristics, and that the change will lead to undesirable consequences for that area, such
as lower property values, increase in crime, or decline in the quality of schools.
• Discriminate by pressuring a client or employee to violate the Law.
• Express any discrimination because of any protected characteristic by any statement, publication,
advertisement, application, inquiry or any Fair Housing Law record.
