Fair Housing – The Posture You Choose and the Words You Use May Get You Sued (2021 Updates)

Today’s consumer is living in fear, gets angry and frustrated easily.

Too often we allow them to ‘pull our strings’ and act negatively ourselves. These behaviors trigger expensive fair housing complaints

Fair housing communication has become an area of increasing importance and concern for owners, supervisors, managers, and leasing professionals across the U.S. More and more fair housing complaints are filed every year, and civil penalties for violations can cost you lots of time and money – and even your job. In such a scenario, you can’t afford to be behind the curve when it comes to thoroughly understand your obligations under the law.

Join this session with top industry expert Anne Sadovsky, who will demonstrate how real-life situations require critical thinking and prudent decision-making. She will show you how to avoid incorrect verbal and written communications – such as speaking in the heat of anger, firing off a letter or a notice to a resident – and how to prevent complaints and lawsuits, as well as intimidation and hostility. She will provide practical examples of the biggest mistakes people have made – and coach you on how to prevent them. Sadovsky will also walk you through true cases and scripts you can use when handling fair housing accommodation requests and complaints.

Remember, fair housing is the law – it’s not merely a set of guidelines. What makes this a must-attend webinar is that it teaches you how to handle an upset and angry resident, use the fair housing poster to make your point, and protect your organization from costly lawsuits. After attending the webinar, you will be able to choose the right words when communicating with a resident and create positive responses and referrals for your organization.
