The Fair Housing Act protects persons of all religions. Fair housing violations on the basis of religion might include but are not limited to:
• refusing to rent to women who wear hijabs;
• harassing tenants because of their religious practices or dress;
• allowing some tenants to put up Christmas lights, but telling others they cannot put up decorations for their non-Christian holidays;
• telling tenant applicants they will not like a neighborhood because there is no synagogue, mosque, or church nearby;
• or prohibiting use of a community room for religious purposes, while allowing tenants to use them for secular gatherings.
