Q: An employee can sue your apartment community under fair housing law. True or false?

[scroll down for answer ...]

A: TRUE

An employee could sue the community for retaliation under fair housing law if, for example, the employer disciplined her because she cooperated with officials during a HUD investigation or helped a resident pursue his rights under fair housing law.

In honor of Fair Housing Month, our April feature takes a break from our usual lesson to test your knowledge of fair housing law. The question above is just one of 40 true-or-false questions we ask and answer in the feature. The quiz covers fair housing basics under federal law—the Fair Housing Act (FHA). Based on your answers, you’ll be able to identify any potential problem areas that might merit some further attention or training. You can then browse our website for lessons on the topics you or your staff should brush up on.
