DESCRIPTION



HUD’s Fair Housing rules and recent action on Disparate Impact show that you can be held liable as a property owner or housing provider, perhaps even as a lender, for discrimination against protected classes even though unintentional.

If you’ve been making half-hearted efforts to comply with the HUD/FHA rules and regulations, understand that it’s no longer going to work. To avoid getting into trouble, you will have to proactively ensure that you are not discriminating on grounds of race, color, religion, sex, familial status, national origin, or disability. Don’t take chances now, it will cost you dearly.

Get current with the new rulings and developments on disparate impact liability under FHA in this webinar by housing expert Paul Flogstad.
