Description:
It is illegal to discriminate against people in housing based on race, color, sex, national origin, religion, disability, or family status according to both state and federal law. In Wisconsin it is also illegal to discriminate based on ancestry, marital status, age, sexual orientation, or lawful source of income for housing. In addition, some local fair housing laws include more bases of discrimination so it is worthwhile to check with teh local equal rights division to see if local, state, or federal law applies more favorably to the specific situation.
