Fair Future Act

This bill, known as the Fair Future Act, seeks to remove a specific provision from the Fair Housing Act that currently allows landlords to refuse to rent to individuals based on their source of income. The change directly affects housing providers and tenants by eliminating the legal basis for income source discrimination in rental decisions. The mechanism involves deleting paragraph (4) of Section 807(b) of the Fair Housing Act, which currently permits landlords to deny housing to applicants relying on government assistance or other specific income sources. If enacted, this would expand protections under existing fair housing laws to cover discrimination based on the source of a tenant's income.
