3. What conditions are considered handicaps under the fair housing laws?


A handicapping condition exists if someone has a physical or mental impairment which substantially limits one or more major life activities. Some examples are: physical disability, mental illness or retardation, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, cancer, heart disease, Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection or AIDS, drug addiction (other than addiction caused by current, illegal use of a controlled substance) and alcoholism. However, a landlord does not have to rent to anyone, including a handicapped person, who would constitute a genuine, direct threat to the health or safety of other tenants or whose tenancy would result in substantial physical damage to the property of others.

4. Can a real estate agent decline to show property in a particular area because members of a protected category reside in that area? No. This is steering, even if the buyer requests it. The real estate agent should inform the buyer that he or she can show property based on any of the buyer's other criteria, but not the presence or absence in the area of members of a protected category.

5. Can a real estate agent answer questions about the characteristics of a neighborhood if the questions concern one of the protected categories?
