ABOUT THE EVENT

This seminar will answer all of your basic fair housing questions at one time. This webinar will cover all of the basics of fair housing. It will include the basics of fair housing including the protected classes. Also included is a section on fair housing for maintenance staff. Over 62% of complaints to HUD are related to maintenance issues. Other relevant topics are the latest updates to criminal screening, reasonable accommodation and service/companion animals, disparate impact and limited English proficiency.

Our objectives are to give the student a better understanding of fair housing laws and how they affect property managers and owners on a daily basis.

These include:

What are the seven protected classes?
Who enforces fair housing laws?
What to do if I have a complaint filed against me.
What are the reasonable accommodations and modifications?
How do I handle requests for service/assistance animals?
What can I ask when screening an applicant?
What is an individualized assessment concerning criminal screening?
How do I handle maintenance requests?
Many other tips on typical questions that come

Our goal in this training is to give you the information so that you may avoid a fair housing complaint. These complaints could result in penalties and court judgements running into thousands of dollars. By having this knowledge you will avoid the complaints and treat all of your tenants fairly.

Who Should Attend

Property Managers
Property owners
Builders
Developers
Realtors
Housing Authorities

We will have time for questions and can answer specific questions relative to your property and situation.
