It’s summertime, so this month’s issue of Fair Housing Coach is ditching its usual lesson plan and taking a field trip—to see what’s happened this year in courts around the country.
This month, we'll explain how to ensure compliance with fair housing laws when providing maintenance and repair services in multifamily housing communities.
In honor of Fair Housing Month, we're going to tackle some of the frequently asked questions (FAQs) about fair housing that come up in conventional multifamily housing communities.
This month, we're going to review fair housing rules as they apply to new media advertising and marketing. The Internet, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Flickr, Foursquare…the options for social networking are endless—and appear to be increasing every year.
This month's lesson surveys fair housing protections on the state and local level. Usually, our focus is on federal fair housing law, since it applies nationwide, but most states and numerous local governments have enacted their own fair housing laws that ban housing discrimination. Many have expanded the list of protected characteristics far beyond those covered under federal law.
This month's lesson takes a broad look at who is protected under fair housing law. Most of the time, we focus on the rules banning discrimination against prospects, applicants, and residents because of their race, religion, or other protected characteristic. But the law reaches far beyond those individuals to protect others, including a resident's family, friends, and guests—even your employees, in some cases.
