Fair Housing

The South Dakota Human Relations Act of 1972 offers protection to residents against housing discrimination based on race, color, ancestry, national origin, sex, religion, creed, familial status, or disability. It closely follows the provisions set forth within the federal Fair Housing Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Victims of housing discrimination can file a private lawsuit in state or federal court. They may also submit a complaint to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development or the South Dakota State Commission of Human Rights.
