Lynwood — Ch. 54 Human Relations § 54-54
Varying rents; sale price
Operative Text
It is unlawful to impose different sale prices or rental charges for the sale or rental of a dwelling upon any person because of race, color, religion, sex, physical or mental handicap, familial status, or national origin.
Section 54-54 of Lynwood's Human Relations chapter prohibits setting different sale prices or rental rates for a dwelling based on a person's race, color, religion, sex, physical or mental handicap, familial status, or national origin. The rule applies to both sales and rentals of housing. Any pricing differential tied to these protected characteristics is considered unlawful under this provision.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Lynwood Ch. 54 § 54-54, property owners and managers are expected to apply uniform pricing standards when listing, offering, or negotiating the sale or rental of any dwelling. Compliant operators typically document their pricing methodology and apply it consistently across all prospective buyers or tenants regardless of protected characteristics. Maintaining clear, objective criteria for how rents and sale prices are set helps demonstrate adherence to this provision.

Section 54-54 of Lynwood's Human Relations code gives prospective and current tenants the right to be free from discriminatory pricing based on protected characteristics such as race, national origin, familial status, or disability. If a tenant believes they were quoted a higher rent than others due to one of these characteristics, general enforcement paths include filing a complaint with a local human relations commission, contacting a fair housing organization, or reaching out to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Consulting a tenant-rights organization familiar with Lynwood's local ordinances can help clarify what documentation or steps may be relevant.
