Fair Housing Law
The Wisconsin Fair Housing Law protects the rights of people in the rental or purchase of housing. It is unlawful to discriminate against a person in housing, even in part, because of that person’s protected class. Essentially all housing is covered under the law, except when a person is seeking a roommate to share a dwelling.
Are Their Exceptions Under The Law?
Yes, there are circumstances when discrimination may be
legal. A few examples are:
A family with “too many” people may be turned away, if a reasonable
government requirement limits the number of occupants for the dwelling unit.
Housing primarily intended and operated for older persons may, under certain
conditions, be restricted to persons over a certain age.
Housing may be denied to a person who poses a direct threat to the safety of
others or whose tenancy would result in substantial physical damage to
property, provided the risk can’t be sufficiently reduced by a reasonable
accommodation.
