Seniors in housing are protected by various laws such as the Fair Housing Act, which prohibits discrimination based on age, as well as state and local laws that provide additional protections for seniors in housing.

Seniors have the right to live in housing that is free from discrimination, harassment, and unsafe living conditions. They also have the right to reasonable accommodations and modifications to help them live comfortably and safely in their homes.

Seniors can protect themselves from housing discrimination by knowing their rights, documenting any instances of discrimination, and seeking legal help if necessary. They can also report any violations to the appropriate authorities, such as the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

Seniors facing eviction or housing instability should seek legal assistance as soon as possible. They may be eligible for assistance programs, legal aid services, or other resources to help them stay in their homes or find alternative housing options.
