This course explores the core requirements of the Federal Fair Housing Act (FHA), covering the seven protected classes and the broad range of activities governed by HUD regulations. Using real-world insights from investigations like Newsday’s Testing the Divide, you will learn how subtle variations in service—such as inconsistent pre-qualification demands or steering—can lead to serious discrimination claims. The curriculum emphasizes the necessity of implementing standardized business processes to ensure every client receives equal treatment and provides guidance on handling unlawful discriminatory instructions from clients. By the end of this session, you will be equipped to maintain professional compliance with both federal and state-level housing laws while protecting your practice from potential liability.
