Get Clear While Swimming Through Fair Housing Muddy Waters

All about recent updates to Laws and Rulings pertaining to Fair Housing Compliance

Ignorance of Fair Housing Laws is no excuse! Staying on top of the latest cases, rulings and directives are critical; not doing so can create an expensive lesson. Fair Housing education does not have to be dull and boring...in fact, you might be excited to hear what is changing, how it impacts you and your property.

Often rulings and changes are made that are confusing and easily misunderstood. In January 2020 new rulings on emotional support animals were established, as well as guidance on fake documents bought from the internet. Join this information-packed Live webinar by industry expert Anne Sadovsky to keep abreast of changes and additions to the laws and rulings pertaining to Fair Housing Compliance. 

During the webinar, you will get your questions answered and your answers questioned. You do not want to be the one who gets the owner/company sued!
