120 Mins
Paul Flogstad
Fair housing violations can result in penalties as high as $100,000 within a seven-year period, as well as claims for compensatory damages and attorney fees. Don’t let HUD or a lawsuit trip you up on things you can easily fix with the right instruction and knowledge.
Join this information-packed 120 Mins seminar by nationally recognized fair housing expert Paul Flogstad and get answers to all your basic fair housing questions at one time. This webinar will cover all the basics of fair housing. It will include the basics of fair housing including the protected classes. Also included is a section on fair housing for maintenance staff. Over 62% of complaints to HUD are related to maintenance issues. During the webinar, Paul will also cover the latest updates to criminal screening, reasonable accommodation and service/companion animals, disparate impact, and limited English proficiency.
The goal of this session is to provide a better understanding of fair housing laws and how they affect property managers and owners on a daily basis. This information will help you avoid a fair housing complaint. These complaints could result in penalties and court judgments running into thousands of dollars. By having this knowledge, you will avoid complaints and treat all your tenants fairly.
During the session, Paul will provide many “real world” examples that will be of value.
Along with the presentation handouts, you will also get a chance to ask questions, discuss your challenges with Paul and get specific answers relative to your property and situation.
