Just because you've been doing something a certain way for 20 years and nothing has happened, doesn't mean that you have nothing to worry about.
A big Fair Housing suit in Atlanta has been settled for $60,000.
A condo association in Midtown Atlanta had policies that discouraged families with children from living there.
An agent there advertised a no-child policy for one of the units and refused to show the unit to families with kids.
That's a pretty big settlement. I can just hear it now, "But we've had this policy for 20 years now and it was never a problem".
Whether it be Fair Housing or Anti-Trust laws, it's best to play it very safe because you never know when someone will decide to come after you and cost you some big money.
