Explanation
The Pennsylvania Human Relations Act (PHRA) prohibits housing discrimination based on race, color, sex, national origin, ancestry, religion, disability, familial status, age (40+), and use of guide or support animals. Ancestry is a PHRA-specific protection that provides broader coverage than the federal Fair Housing Act. The PHRA is enforced by the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission (PHRC), and violations can result in civil penalties and remedial orders.
