The FHA makes it unlawful to discriminate against a
person on the basis of “race, color, religion, sex, handicap,
familial status, or national origin” and applies broadly to
many housing practices. 42 U.S.C. § 3604. Specifically,
§ 3604(b) prohibits “discriminat[ion] against any person in
the terms, conditions, or privileges of sale or rental of a
dwelling, or in the provision of services or facilities in
connection therewith” because of the person’s membership
in one of those protected classes. Appellants argue the
District’s provision of water services pursuant to the
Security Deposit Policy discriminated against Edwards
Circle residents on the basis of their membership in one or
more of these protected classes.
