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:
- Equal opportunity to rent or buy a home you choose
- Have the same house rules and benefits as other people
- Live with a support animal or other person
- Feel safe in your home and have privacy
- Get home repairs when needed for safer and easier living
- 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.
Housing Rights Easy Read Guidebook
The housing rights easy read guidebook is a longer document. This document explains information on the one-page flyer in more detail.
