Your Life, Your Rights: Housing Rights

Everyone has the right to fair housing. This is true no matter if they rent or own an apartment, home, or room. Housing rights include: 

1. Equal opportunity to rent or buy a home you choose
2. Have the same house rules and benefits as other people
3. Live with a support animal or other person
4. Feel safe in your home and have privacy
5. Get home repairs when needed for safer and easier living
6. Be given 30-day notice if you must move out

Resources

To help people learn about their housing rights, BHDDH created two resources. The first is a one-page flyer, and the second is a guidebook. 

Housing Rights Flyer

The housing rights flyer is a one-page document. It can be used as a factsheet about housing rights.
