Fair Housing Basics for New Staff Members

It’s a new year and that means new protected classes, new guidance and new enforcement efforts! Are you aware of the latest developments in fair housing compliance? Is every new staff member on your team trained to properly answer questions about criminal background checks, assistance animals, occupancy standards and language barriers? Are you one of the victims of the latest “drive-by” lawsuits about website accessibility or criminal background checks? Even if you answered “yes” to all but the last question, isn’t a back-tobasics fair housing refresher and good investment of time and money? If you answered “yes” to that, please enroll today and make sure you have a seat!
