A new state law (2018) now makes it illegal for landlords to discriminate against tenants and would-be tenants based on their source of income. What does this mean? • Landlords cannot refuse to rent to you because your income comes from Social Security, Veteran’s benefits, retirement, Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) or Aged, Blind and Disabled (ABD). • They cannot refuse to rent to you because you will pay your rent with a Section 8, Share Aspire, or Housing and Essential Needs (HEN) voucher. • They cannot charge you more rent than someone who does not get benefits or tell you the unit is not available when it is.
