The purpose of fair housing laws and rules is to prevent discrimination against people on the basis of a protected class during a property transaction. Federal, state and local regulations prohibit brokers, sellers, lenders, and insurers from adopting discriminatory policies against people in protected classes.

The Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination in the sale, rental, and financing of housing based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, and disability. In addition to the federal protected classes, the state of Oregon has included additional protected classes, and many local governments have included even more.
