HOUSE TALK – Staying out of trouble with New Jersey’s Fair Housing Laws

by Timothy Tyler
Staying out of trouble with New Jersey's Fair Housing Laws

In New Jersey, home sellers must abide by the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination. This means that you must give all potential buyers equal consideration regardless of whether they fall into one of New Jersey’s 14 protected classes.

Does this mean you have to sell your home to someone who can’t pay for it? Of course not! You can always consider financial qualification, but you can’t consider any of New Jersey’s protected classes, as I explain in this 4 minute video.

Selling your home in Morris, Essex or Union County, NJ? Give me a call, or text me at 973-462-4079. I’m happy to help!
