If you’ve been in the multifamily business for a while, you’ve no doubt heard this mantra when you attended your annual fair housing refresher course: “Treat everyone the same, treat everyone the SAME, treat EVERYONE the SAME!” While it was never good advice, with the current focus on Disparate Impact, it is now dangerous advice and the express lane to a fair housing complaint or lawsuit.
No longer are neutral policies automatically safe, and no longer can we deny occupancy to anyone with a felony conviction, or, in many areas, even check their background at all. The list of policies and practices affected by the application of Disparate Impact Theory continues to grow and as is the case with any compliance issues, ignorance is no excuse.
Join us as we focus on current industry best practices and what HUD is suggesting as guidance regarding criminal background checks. We’ll review the basics of disparate impact theory including the three-step burden shifting process, types of offenses, look-back periods and what is on the horizon for compliance.
