This month, we finish our two-part lesson on deadly fair housing sins, old and new. Last month, Part I of the lesson covered the old—violation of federal fair housing rules that have been on the books for many years, but continue to trigger costly fair housing claims.
Part I: Recurring Violations of Long-Standing Rules
This month, we’re starting a two-part lesson on the deadly sins of fair housing law. Though the deadly sins are historically seven in number, we’ve added a few more to cover the most costly fair housing violations. And we’re breaking it down into two parts—deadly fair housing sins, old and new. This month, Part I of the lesson will cover old—that is, recurring violations of long-standing fair housing rules.
In this special issue of the COACH, we look at several court decisions released this year involving fair housing claims. Often, the media reports reflect only bad news: Communities forced to shell out hefty cash payments in damages, penalties, or settlements to resolve allegations of fair housing violations. But those reports tell only half the story. Though it rarely makes the news, communities can—and often do—win court battles to defend themselves against fair housing claims.
Recent developments signal a renewed emphasis on traditional fair housing testing. Now more than ever, it’s important to do everything you can to ensure your community complies with fair housing law—that way, you’ll be likely to pass any fair housing test.
It’s summertime, so this month’s issue of Fair Housing Coach is ditching its usual lesson plan and taking a field trip—to see what’s happened this year in courts around the country.
This month, we'll explain how to ensure compliance with fair housing laws when providing maintenance and repair services in multifamily housing communities.
