Prevents housing discrimination based on wage history, medical history, and health conditions
This bill amends New York's housing anti-discrimination law to explicitly prohibit landlords and housing providers from refusing to rent or sell housing based on a person's wage history, medical history, or health conditions. It adds these factors to the existing list of protected characteristics (like race, disability, or gender) in housing decisions. The law applies to all housing accommodations, including publicly-assisted housing, and bans both direct refusal and discriminatory inquiries about these protected factors. This creates a clear legal standard preventing housing discrimination tied to financial background or health status.
