OAR 839-005-0195
Housing Discrimination: Purpose and Scope

(1)

The public policy of the State of Oregon guarantees all individuals the fullest possible participation in the social and economic life of the state, including the right to purchase, lease, rent or occupy property without discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, marital status, disability, familial status, source of income and other classes protected under Oregon statutes. The Bureau of Labor and Industries, through the Civil Rights Division, protects these rights by enforcement of ORS 659A.145 (Discrimination against individual with disability in real property transactions prohibited), 659A.421 (Discrimination in selling, renting or leasing real property prohibited) and the federal Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C. §3601–3617) over which the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has jurisdiction.
