Fair Housing Compliance & Pitfalls: A Practical Guide for Housing Providers

In recognition of Fair Housing Month, BPOA welcomes fair housing expert and attorney Steve Williams for an essential one-hour webinar on fair housing compliance and the legal risks that commonly arise in day-to-day rental operations.

Fair housing is not a narrow topic or a one-time requirement. It applies to how you advertise your property, communicate with prospective tenants, screen applicants, and respond to requests during a tenancy.

Missteps are often unintentional but can still result in significant liability.

In this session, Steve will cover:

• The core fair housing principles that govern rental housing decisions
• High-risk scenarios in advertising, applicant screening, and everyday communications
• Common mistakes that lead to preventable liability
• How to properly handle reasonable accommodation and modification requests
• Best practices for aligning your policies and practices with fair housing requirements
• Real-world examples of what to do and what to avoid
