I believe that my housing application was denied because of my sight loss. What can I do?

Sometimes there are clear signs that you have been discriminated against when looking for housing. For example:

  • When a housing provider asks intrusive and inappropriate questions; 
  • When a housing provider makes statements that are offensive or based on false stereotypes; or, 
  • When a housing provider says that they cannot rent a unit to you because of your sight loss.

In such circumstances, consider consulting a lawyer who practices human rights or housing law about the options that may be available to you. To learn more about some of the options that might be available to you, review the section of this handbook, titled What can I do to enforce my legal rights?
