This one-hour course is a review of our Basics of Fair Housing Certification Course. This is the perfect course for employees who took Fair Housing training recently in the last year or so and just need a quick refresher of some of the more important fair housing topics. In the first lesson we will take you step by step through the fair housing roadmap. From meeting and greeting, applying, all the way to lease renewal or termination. And along every stop we will highlight important information and suggest some best practices. In lesson two we will dive into the more complicated topics of disability and familial status. There are some exceptions in these categories that affect your policies and operations. This covers topics such as occupancy policies, reasonable accommodations and modifications and emotional support animals. At the end you will take a 20-question exam. You need an 80% or higher to pass. If you fail the exam you are welcome to review the course and retake the exam.

If I take a good course, it’s fun to do and it’s good information, then I want to share it with others. It’s knowledge for them, they feel included and not lost in the shuffle because they don’t have computer access.
