The correct answer is: No, fair housing laws are not part of landlord-tenant law.
While fair housing laws are related to housing rights and responsibilities, they are distinct from landlord-tenant laws. Fair housing laws ensure that individuals have equal access to housing regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, familial status, or disability, and these laws exist at federal, state, and local levels. Minnesota has its own fair housing laws that complement federal laws.
