RICHMOND, Va. (WWBT) - Starting Friday, landlords and property owners will no longer be able to turn away potential tenants receiving government assistance.
More roofs overheads is the goal of the new protections under the Virginia Fair Housing Law.
Advocates say some landlords would steer tenants towards less desirable properties or even turn them away if they were receiving any sort of assistance.
The changes stop landlords from discriminating against potential tenants whose source of income may have come from things like social security insurance, disability benefits, child support, and all forms of government housing assistance.

A Pulaski County couple that was threatened with eviction over their assistance animal is now getting a $30,000 settlement.
Charlene and Michael Butler provided the needed verification to bring Charlene’s assistance dog to live with them in Unique Deerfield Village Townhomes Complex before and after they moved in, according to the Attorney General Mark Herring’s office.
“No one deserves to be treated the way that we were treated, ever. I just want people to understand there are resources out there for you,” said Charlene Butler.
