con ed: Requirements for Using Fair Housing Logos and Posters - 09/22/10 07:07 AM
 

Using the fair housing logo is a great way to show a commitment to fair housing.  Many housing providers use the Equal Housing Opportunity logo in their ads and on their written materials to show that they do business in compliance with fair housing laws.
HUD requires that owners and managers display a fair housing poster with its logo at rental offices.  This applies to rentals covered by the federal Fair Housing Act, and to dwellings rented through a real estate broker/agent.  See 24 C.F.R.  §§ 110.1 – 110.30.

con ed: What Housing Providers Need to Know About Service Animals - 06/14/10 04:25 AM

Under the Fair Housing Act, a housing provider cannot refuse housing to someone who is disabled because of their disability. Just as important, the law requires housing providers to accommodate a person’s disability by changing or modifying a rule or policy or practice when doing so is necessary to give the disabled person equal opportunity to use and enjoy his or her unit.
Under the Fair Housing Act, a housing provider who has established a "no pet" policy must allow a disabled resident to keep a service animal as a reasonable accommodation. The housing provider must allow the disabled resident … (2 comments)

con ed: Types of Discrimination Against Persons with Disabilities Prohibited by the Fair Housing Act - 09/29/09 01:56 AM

The goal of the Fair Housing Act is to ensure “no person shall be subjected to discrimination because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status or national origin in the sale, rental or advertising of dwellings, in the provision of brokerage services, or in the availability of residential real-estate related transactions.” With respect to people with disabilities, the Act serves to:
Give people with disabilities opportunities to choose where they want to live; Assure that reasonable accommodations and reasonable modifications are made so that a person with a disability can secure and use housing as fully as a person … (1 comments)

con ed: When and How a Tenant Must Request a Reasonable Accommodation or Permission to Make a Reasonable Modification - 09/25/09 01:00 AM
Under the Fair Housing Act, a resident or an applicant for housing makes a reasonable accommodation request whenever she makes clear to the housing provider that she is requesting an exception, change, or adjustment to a rule, policy, practice, or service because of her disability. She should explain what type of accommodation she is requesting and, if the need for the accommodation is not readily apparent or not known to the provider, explain the relationship between the requested accommodation and her disability.
Similarly, a resident or an applicant for housing makes a reasonable modification request whenever she makes clear to the … (1 comments)

con ed: Operation Home Sweet Home - 09/24/09 01:10 AM
Ever heard of the Fair Housing testing program, where someone visits rental communities to observe customer service?  HUD and local fair housing agencies use such a testing process to assess a specific complaint or to check a random market for fair housing compliance.  Any applicant could be a fair housing tester.
Fair housing testing is a tool used to measure the practices of housing providers relating to the Fair Housing Act.  Some unlawful housing discrimination practices can only be discovered through fair housing testing.  Information gathered through fair housing testing can be used as evidence to support a client’s administrative housing … (1 comments)

con ed: Who qualifies as a person with a disability under the Fair Housing Act? - 03/07/09 02:04 AM
The following is a summary of what it takes to qualify as a "person with a disability" under the Fair Housing Act.
The Fair Housing Act defines a person with a disability to include (1) individuals with a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities; (2) individuals who are regarded as having such an impairment; and (3) individuals with a record of such an impairment.  The Act defines certain terms as follows:
The term “physical or mental impairment” includes, but is not limited to, such diseases and conditions as orthopedic, visual, speech and hearing impairments, … (0 comments)

con ed: Yesterday the U.S. Department of Justice Sued a Large Multi-Family Housing Developer Alleging Disability-Based Housing Discrimination - 03/04/09 11:45 PM

Here is another example of a lawsuit that was recently filed by the United States Department of Justice ("DOJ") to enforce the Fair Housing Act. I try to post summaries of these types of cases in order to provide timely updates to real estate professionals about the "dos and don'ts" under the Fair Housing Act, since fair housing is such an important issue.
Yesterday afternoon (Wednesday, March 4, 2009), the DOJ filed a lawsuit against JPI Construction L.P. (“JPI”) and six JPI-affiliated companies for failing to provide accessible features required by the Fair Housing Act and the Americans with Disabilities … (2 comments)

con ed: In the wake of the attacks of September 11, 2001, is it okay to screen housing applicants on the basis of their citizenship status? - 03/01/09 06:59 AM
The question often arises whether is it okay to screen housing applicants on the basis of their citizenship status.   This question seems to have come up more often in the wake of the attacks of September 11, 2001.
The Fair Housing Act does not prohibit discrimination based solely on a person's citizenship status.  Accordingly, asking housing applicants to provide documentation of their citizenship or immigration status during the screening process would not violate the Fair Housing Act.  In fact, such measures have been in place for a number of years in screening applicants for federally-assisted housing.  For these properties, HUD regulations … (0 comments)

con ed: Some Examples of Discriminatory Advertisements in Real Estate - 03/01/09 06:26 AM

As every real estate professional should already know, the Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination in housing on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, familial status, national origin and disability. Fair housing laws prohibit making, printing or publishing any notice, statement, or advertisement that indicates any preference, limitation, or discrimination based on a protected class.
Although not an exhaustive list, the following are a few examples of what might constitute a discriminatory housing advertisement.
1.   Race/Color
Ads stating a preference for the race of a desired applicant (e.g., “no blacks,” “whites only,” etc.) Ads describing the race of current occupants … (2 comments)

con ed: A Housing Provider or Homeowner’s Association May Not Condition Approval of a Request for a Reasonable Modification on the Requester Obtaining Special Liability Insurance - 02/27/09 05:39 AM
The question often arises whether a housing provider or homeowner’s association may condition the approval of a request for a reasonable modification (under the Fair Housing Act) on the requester obtaining special liability insurance.
The answer is, no. Imposition of such a requirement would constitute a violation of the Fair Housing Act.
For Example: Because of a mobility disability, a tenant wants to install a ramp outside his unit. The housing provider informs the tenant that the ramp may be installed, but only after the tenant obtains separate liability insurance for the ramp out of concern for the housing provider’s potential … (0 comments)
