Fair Housing
Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 (Fair Housing Act), as amended, prohibits discrimination in the sale, rental, and financing of dwellings, and in other housing-related transactions, based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status (including children under the age of 18 living with parents or legal custodians, pregnant women, and people securing custody of children under the age of 18), and disability.

MIAMI CAPITAL Lending LLC complies with all state and federal laws prohibiting discrimination. The City of Miami’s Human Rights Ordinance protects against discrimination in Housing. The following are examples of lending discrimination:
- Denying a mortgage or charging a higher interest rate because the property is located in a majority-minority neighborhood
- Providing a different customer service experience to mortgage applicants depending on their race, color, religion, sex, familial status, national origin or disability
- Refusing to consider a mortgage applicant’s disability-related income, such as SSI or SSDI
- Steering a borrower to a loan with less favorable terms because of his or her race, color, religion, sex, familial status, national origin or disability
- Targeting a minority community for fraudulent home loan modification assistance
- Refusing to provide mortgages to women on maternity leave
