Nevada and Henderson do not classify source of income, including Section 8 housing-choice vouchers, as a protected category for housing discrimination. Landlords may decline applicants based solely on voucher status under current law.
Federal fair housing law and the Nevada Fair Housing Law in NRS 118 and 233 protect against discrimination by race, color, religion, sex, familial status, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, and gender identity. Source of income, including Housing Choice Vouchers, is not a protected class under Nevada law and Henderson has not added one locally. A Henderson landlord may legally state that vouchers are not accepted, provided the policy is applied uniformly and not as a proxy for a protected category. Disability-based reasonable accommodation requests still apply, and federal HUD-funded programs may impose acceptance conditions.
Using a no-voucher policy as cover for racial, familial-status, or disability discrimination remains illegal and can trigger HUD complaints and Nevada Equal Rights Commission action.
