Many if not most of the over 30,000 discrimination complaints filed against landlords in America each year involve alleged wrongdoing by a leasing agent, property manager, maintenance person, or other frontline staffer. That's why training staff to comply with fair housing laws is essential to minimizing risks of liability for discrimination.

In honor of Fair Housing Month, our April issue takes a break from our usual lesson to test your knowledge of fair housing law. Based on your answers to our quiz, 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.

Sooner or later, somebody is bound to accuse you of discrimination. If and when that time comes, the mere fact that you comply may not be enough to protect you. You’ll also need proof of compliance. 

Follow our 8 rules for dealing with common situations where discrimination problems are most likely to arise.

We review the year’s key cases and their practical impact on you.
