Why is this a Black Code?

6. “No African-American or freedman shall be permitted to rent or keep a house within the limits of the town under any circumstances”

It’s a black code because black codes were made to make black lives unfair to white lives. That said it is a black code because blacks can’t rent or buy a house in that town or in the limits of the town
