California Government Code 12955 bars San Bernardino County landlords from refusing to rent solely because the tenant uses a Housing Choice Voucher or other lawful government rental subsidy as part of their income.
Since 2020, California has expanded the Fair Employment and Housing Act to treat housing-assistance vouchers, VASH, and similar subsidies as a protected source of income. Landlords cannot post 'no Section 8' advertisements, refuse to consider voucher tenants, or apply different screening criteria. They may still apply consistent income, credit, and rental-history standards, but voucher amounts must be counted toward the income calculation. SBC has no separate ordinance; the state law is enforced by the Civil Rights Department.
Posting 'no Section 8' ads, charging voucher tenants higher deposits, or applying disparate income multiples to subsidized tenants constitutes source-of-income discrimination under FEHA.
