Equal Housing Opportunity
We are pledged to the letter and spirit of U.S. policy for the achievement of equal housing opportunity throughout the nation. We encourage and support an affirmative advertising and marketing program in which there are no barriers to obtaining housing because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin.
Our Commitment
Century 21 Accent Homes, Inc. is committed to complying fully with the Fair Housing Act (Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, as amended) and the Virginia Fair Housing Law. We do not discriminate against any person because of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, familial status, or disability in the sale, rental, financing, or advertising of housing.
It is our policy to provide equal professional service to all prospective tenants, property owners, and clients without regard to any protected class. We are committed to providing housing opportunities to all persons regardless of their background.
