Fair Housing Act

- Race
- Color
- National origin
- Religion
- Sex, which the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development treats as including sexual orientation and gender identity
- Familial status, including families with children under 18 and people who are pregnant
- Disability
Tennessee Human Rights Act
The Tennessee Human Rights Act prohibits discriminatory housing practices because of race, color, creed, religion, sex, disability, familial status, or national origin. That list is in Tenn. Code Ann. § 4-21-601. The Tennessee Attorney General’s Civil Rights Enforcement Division also describes the Act’s housing protections as covering age.
