Guidance on the Landlord's Obligations under Federal and State Law
Fair Housing is consistently one of the largest sources of liability in the business of providing, managing and owning residential rental housing. It is incredibly nuanced, and can arise in every step of the rental process from advertising and applications, through to termination of tenancy. In addition, a landlord’s obligations under both federal and state law are expansive, with a landlord required to know the law and how to apply it. Remember, intent is not relevant in most fair housing complaints, and the law continually changes, necessitating routine training.
