It also protects anyone who is pregnant or is in the process of getting custody of a child. So, with some exceptions, such as certain housing for older persons, no one may refuse to rent or sell you a home, or impose special conditions, because you live with children.
An example
A building manager tells Mariela that families with children can live only on the first floor. Mariela knows that, with few exceptions, the Fair Housing Act does not allow housing families with children in only one part of a building.
