A new California law prohibits landlords from refusing to rent to applicants just because they have a Section 8 voucher. The law added voucher holders to existing California discrimination protections for source of income. Common examples of unlawful behavior:

• Landlords cannot post “No Section 8” or “No Vouchers” on their rental advertisements.
• Landlords cannot inquire to see if you have Section 8 before giving you an application.

If you think you have been unlawfully discriminated against, please contact your local office.
