Under the Fair Housing Act (“FHA”), it is unlawful to “discriminate against any person in the terms, conditions, or privileges of sale or rental of a dwelling, or in the provision of services or facilities in connection therewith, because of . . . sex.” 42 U.S.C. 3604(b). This means that the FHA protects a prospective tenant or homebuyer from receiving different or less favorable treatment in housing terms, conditions, or privileges based on their sex. Until recently, it was unclear whether sexual harassment qualifies as sex discrimination under the FHA.
