Can you be evicted if you have Coronavirus? What tenants need to know:

The Federal Fair Housing Act prohibits landlords from discrimination against tenants with disabilities, and that includes infection with COVID-19. As listed below, many states and local ordinances implemented anti-discrimination laws. Covid-19 infections fall under the disability rules, thus, a potential tenant is protected from disability discrimination. The same rules apply to homeowners’ associations. They cannot force an owner to move because they have COVID-19.
