Fair Housing

HUD, DOJ, the courts, and the advocacy community have been very busy in recent years finding new and creative avenues to fair housing litigation, rendering decisions and issuing new guidance and regulations making the multifamily industry hazardous for those not constantly monitoring the latest in fair housing compliance topics. We’ll look at best practices for Resident Background Screening, managing Occupancy Standards, working with Non-English speaking customers, Assistive Animals, and examine how the theory of Disparate Impact is being applied in these areas and more.
