For people with previous experience in the industry, this lesson offers a refresher—and a way for management to ensure that everyone is on the same page when it comes to your community’s commitment to treating everyone fairly, regardless of race, color, or any other characteristic protected under federal, state, or local fair housing law.

WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY?

The Fair Ho

It was a brutal legislative session that will always be remembered for the passage statewide rent control (SB 608). Unconscionable that the majority party leaves opponents 90 - seconds to testify in opposing significant legislation after unlimited time for panel after panel of 'experts' in support. When in power they all do it - Democrat and Republican - not a pretty thing to watch.

Inaccuracies

Question: What happens if a community denies housing based on a screening report that contains inaccurate information about an applicant's criminal history?

Remove any ban based on arrests. The first thing to do is to check whether your policy includes any ban based on arrest records, Richer said. HUD's guidance clearly states that records of arrest should not be used to deny housing or terminate a lease.
