Fair Housing

You have a right to live where you want to live. The Fair Housing Amendments Act specifically prohibits discrimination in any area of housing because of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, handicap/disability, or familial status.

The Ohio - Landlord Bill, effective November 4, 1974, applies to most landlord-tenant relations and governs most rental agreements, whether written or oral.

We have informational brochures for Tenant-Landlord Laws. Please call the local contact at the Wyandot County Commissioners Office for information.

If you believe you have been discriminated against, document the date of the alleged violation(s), write a summary of what happened, and call or visit the Commissioners Clerk, Treston Hall, at 419-294-3836, Wyandot County Commissioners Office, 109 S. Sandusky Ave, Upper Sandusky OH 43351 , or call one of the following agencies:
