The Salt Lake City Human Rights Commission has documented a number of instances of housing discrimination against people because of their race, gender, sexual orientation, class or ability. Rosemary Winters of the Salt Lake Tribune highlighted a few disturbing instances - a landlord who refused to fix a family's oven because the tenants didn't speak English, and a man who faced eviction because he was gay.
