Fair Housing
The Antidiscrimination & Labor Division's Fair Housing focus is to administer and enforce Utah's Fair Housing Act found in Utah Code Annotated §57-21-1. The Act prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, religion, color, sex, national origin, familial status, disability or source of income in the rental, purchase and sale of real property. Additionally, based on a memorandum of understanding and a cooperative agreement with the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Division is authorized to enforce the provisions of Title VIII of the 1968 federal Fair Housing Act.
Fair Housing receives, mediates (for early resolution), investigates, and resolves charges of housing discrimination. It also acts as a source to residence seekers, property managers, and owners concerning laws which prohibit housing discrimination. Compliance through educational presentations has effectively been utilized by Fair Housing as a means to encourage voluntary compliance. Alternative dispute resolution has also been utilized to effectively resolve housing discrimination complaints
