What the Law Says
Have Your Civil Rights Been Violated?
A civil rights violation is any offense or discrimination that occurs on the basis of that person being a member of a protected category. Violations occur in cases where there are injuries, death, or even emotional distress. As an example, a violation of one’s civil rights can occur if a person has had his or her freedom taken away or is discriminated against based on race, color, gender, age, national origin, or a disability of some kind.

District of Columbia laws, such as the Fair Criminal Record Screening Act and the DC Human Rights Act prohibit employers and landlords from conducting a background check or making a decision based on your record, except when certain strict conditions are met. Denying you a job or a lease based on your criminal or arrest record may be a violation of your civil rights.
