Fair Housing Sexual Harassment

During the COVID-19 crisis, many people are struggling to pay rent. Unfortunately, some unscrupulous landlords try to force tenants to provide sexual favors in exchange for canceling or reducing rent. Sexual harassment in housing situations is illegal under the Fair Housing Act. If your landlord asks for sex or a maintenance person refuses to fix something in your apartment because you won’t provide sexual favors, that’s illegal. File a complaint with HUD and put a stop to it.
