NYC HRL Housing Discrimination (§ 8-107(5))

N.Y.C. Admin. Code § 8-107(5)

Subdivision 5 of NYC Administrative Code § 8-107 ("Unlawful discriminatory practices") makes it an unlawful discriminatory practice for the owner, lessor, lessee, sublessee, managing agent, real estate broker, or other person with the right to sell, rent, lease, or approve the sale/rental/lease of a housing accommodation to refuse, withhold, or deny such housing, or to discriminate in the terms, conditions, or privileges of the sale, rental, or lease, because of an individual's membership in an enumerated protected category (including race, creed, color, national origin, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, marital/partnership status, immigration or citizenship status, lawful source of income, and the presence of children). The provision applies broadly to NYC housing and is enforced by the NYC Commission on Human Rights.
