The Housing Rights Center (HRC), and the City of Pasadena, will be hosting a free “Fair Housing Workshop” for Pasadena landlords, residents, and community members on Thursday, Aug. 25, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. in the community room at the Fair Oaks Renaissance Plaza (649 N. Fair Oaks Ave.).
HRC will present information and resources regarding housing discrimination and landlord-tenant rights and responsibilities.
Topics will include: discrimination against families with children, disability rights, sexual harassment, evictions, repairs, security deposits, rent increases, substandard conditions, and much more!
Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, known as the “Fair Housing Act,” provides protection from discrimination in all housing related transactions based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, familial status, and disability.
Furthermore, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act provides additional protections against housing discrimination based on marital status, ancestry, sexual orientation, and source of income. The California Unruh Civil Rights Act also provides protection from housing discrimination based on age and protects the right to freedom from violence and intimidation in housing.
