Some of the key issues covered include:

  • Federal, state and local protected classes.
  • Enforcement of fair housing laws.
  • Disability: Definition; process of handling requests such as assistance animals and parking; hoarding and mental disabilities.
  • Fair housing in the life cycle of a tenancy: a) Marketing and leasing process; b) resident selection; c) establishing rental criteria and community policies; d) termination of tenancy; and e) other practical day-to-day application of fair housing.

Optional legal Q&A on new state law: Due to the many questions received from property managers regarding a new state law (Senate Bill 267), an optional 30-minute legal Q&A session will be offered immediately following the regular seminar. From noon to 12:30 pm, the attorney instructor will explain this new law which requires landlords to offer applicants with government subsidy the option for provide alternative to the use of credit reports to verify their ability to pay rent.

Don’t miss out on this important once-per-year training. Avoid potential, costly lawsuits, fines and judgements by keeping up-to-date on fair housing laws and regulations. Register now!
