If you're not a big fan of change, 2025 is not going to be a fun year! It is guaranteed that how we comply with fair housing will undergo major changes with a new administration taking over in January.

Right now, in various courtrooms around the country, attorneys are arguing for or against enforcing disparate impact theory, implementing the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing requirements, creating additional protected classes, banning criminal background checks, not allowing the use of minimum income, credit, employment history or landlord history in resident selection, the categorization of legitimate fees as "junk fees" and allowing all residents to have pets.

In addition, the Federal Trade Commission and the Federal Communications Commission have joined HUD and the Department of Justice in looking at our operations and filing lawsuits. Oh, and did I mention that recruitment of both volunteer and paid Fair Housing testers is at an all-time high?

This session will allow you to take a deep breath, look at some outrageous fair housing violation allegations and review current compliance guidance about assistive animals, disparate impact, background checks and fair housing testers. We’ll review some of the most common compliance missteps and learn how to avoid them and we’ll focus on how to be more proactive in our compliance efforts.
