HOUSING DISCRIMINATION IS AGAINST THE LAW IN NORTH CAROLINA
The North Carolina Fair Housing Act makes it illegal to discriminate the housing because of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, physical or mental handicaps, or family status (families with children). The law applies to the sale, rental and financing of residential housing. Apartments, houses, mobile homes and even vacant lots to be used for housing are covered by the Fair Housing Act. With a few exceptions, anyone who has control over residential property and real estate financing must obey the law. This includes rental managers, property owners, real estate agents, landlords, banks, developers, builders and individual homeowners who are selling or renting their property.
The law prohibits the following acts based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, handicap or family status:
refusing to sell or rent housing;
lying about the availability of housing;
evicting someone from housing;
discrimination in the terms or conditions of housing, such as rent, security deposits, house sale prices, the use of facilities or financing.
Any person or persons wishing to file a complaint of housing discrimination in the county may do so by informing the county manager of the facts and circumstance of the alleged discriminatory acts or practice.
Upon receiving a housing discrimination complaint, the county manager shall acknowledge the complaint within ten (10) days in writing and inform the North Carolina Human Relations Commission about the Complaint.
The N.C. Human Relations Commission is a state government agency which enforces the Fair Housing Act. The commission will investigate your complaint to see if the law was broken. Most of the time, the commission can settle housing discrimination complaints quickly and easily. If it is necessary, the commission can take discrimination cases to a hearing or to court.
If you think you have been discriminated against in Jackson County, please contact the County Manager, Jackson County Justice and Administration Building, 401 Grindstaff Cove Road, Sylva, NC 28779. You may call (828) 631-2295. Any person who is hearing impaired may obtain assistance by calling the TDD number (828) 586-1911.
The county manager shall offer assistance to the commission in the investigation and reconciliation of all housing discrimination complaints which are based on events occurring in the county.
The County’s designee to receive and review Fair Housing complaints is John Ashe, Director, Jackson County Housing Authority, 401 Grindstaff Cove Road, Sylva, NC 28779. (828) 631-2292. TDD (828) 586-1911.
