HD 4094 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to fairness in home sales

This bill amends Massachusetts' fair housing law (Chapter 151B) to expand protections beyond rental housing. It adds "home sales" to the list of covered areas and includes "prospective homebuyers" alongside tenants. The law now explicitly prohibits discrimination in home buying, rental accommodations, and downpayment assistance programs. These changes directly affect home sellers, buyers, and lenders in Massachusetts by extending fair housing safeguards to the home purchase process.
