THE SOUTH CAROLINA FAIR HOUSING LAW

Housing discrimination is against the law in South Carolina. The South Carolina Fair Housing Law makes it illegal to discriminate in housing because of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, physical or mental handicaps, or familial status (families with children). The law applies to the sale, rental and financing of residential housing. A summary of the SC Fair Housing Law can be found at http://www.state.sc.us/schac/summary_of_the_south_carolina_fa.htm. If you feel you have been discriminated against, please contact The South Carolina Human Affairs Commission: Toll Free (in state) 1.800.521.0725, TDD 803.253.04125, download their Fair Housing brochure for more information, visit their website (click on Fair Housing on the left sidebar) or contact The US Department of HUD Toll Free 1.800.441.8091 or through their Web site.
