To run a profitable and successful rental business, landlords must follow all housing laws and regulations. Although it goes without saying, violating any federal, state, or local housing laws is a property owner’s worst legal nightmare.
Since visits from fair housing testers are spontaneous, it’s hard for landlords to prepare truly. However, the best way to stay prepared for a compliance check is to follow all housing laws and regulations. After all, any person involved in the housing transaction is responsible for following all fair housing laws
Areas Covered:-
We will make you aware of some of the methods used by the testers so you can be aware if you notice them employed at your property. Also discussed is how the testing evidence is used.
Learning Objectives:-
The prime learning objective is to keep you out of trouble if testers select your property. Also, we want to give you guidance if you happen to be charged with a fair hoising violation
Background:-
In 1991, the Civil Rights Division established the Fair Housing Testing Program within the Housing and Civil Enforcement Section, which commenced testing in 1992. Testing refers to the use of individuals who – without any bona fide intent to rent or purchase housing, purchase a mortgage or vehicle loan, or patronize a place of public accommodation – pose as prospective renters, borrowers, or patrons for the purpose of gathering information
