ABOUT THE EVENT

A significant amount of money is being spent by HUD and distributed in grants to Fair Housing Advocacy groups to ensure compliance with the fair housing act. Many multifamily professionals have described the level of scrutiny as “unparalleled” and we only expect it to increase under the current Administration. Integral to this effort is the fair housing tester, working “undercover” to discover and expose non-compliance. Who are these testers, what can they say and do and are they completely impartial or do they have an agenda? We’ll look at these questions and many more in this fast paced session – don’t miss it!

Areas Covered:

What is a “Tester”
How will I know I’m being tested?
What are they looking for?
What are they allowed to do and say?
What is does “pattern or practice” mean and what does it have to do with fair housing compliance?
What is the best way to prepare?
What documentation do I need?
Can a test lead to a fair housing complaint?

Learning Objectives:

Ensure awareness of the basic requirements of fair housing compliance.
Understand how your policies and procedures must be created and enforced in order to support compliance.
Review the types of documentation typically requested or required.
Review best practices necessary to minimize the possibility of being named in a fair housing complaint or lawsuit as a result of a tester visit.
