Podcasts about fair housing laws

In this episode of The Accidental Landlord, host Peter McKenzie sheds light on the growing risk of landlords facing lawsuits under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Fair Housing Act (FHA). These laws, while designed to protect tenants' rights, have also been exploited by serial lawsuit filers who target landlords and business owners. Peter breaks down the key areas of compliance, including parking accommodations, accessibility routes, and tenant communication requirements. Through real-world case studies, he illustrates how landlords have been caught in legal battles—sometimes for minor infractions. He also discusses California-specific laws that further complicate the legal landscape for landlords. If you own rental property, this is a must-listen episode to help you understand: ✔️ How the ADA and FHA apply to landlords ✔️ The risks of predatory lawsuits and how to avoid them ✔️ Real case studies of landlords facing legal action ✔️ Best practices to protect yourself and your investment Key Takeaways: The ADA applies to public areas of multifamily properties, while the FHA covers tenant accommodations inside rental units. Serial lawsuit filers often target landlords for minor infractions, costing them thousands in legal fees. California laws add extra layers of compliance, including the Unruh Civil Rights Act and the Fair Employment and Housing Act. Landlords must take accommodation requests seriously, especially for service/support animals and accessibility modifications. Proactive inspections and compliance checks can help landlords avoid costly legal trouble. Resources & Next Steps:

The Fair Housing Act (FHA) ensures any person can buy or rent a house or apartment wherever they want regardless of their race, ethnicity, gender, religious preference, disability, family status, or national origin. In 2015, the United States added discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity to the list of protected classes.  As a landlord, you should be familiar with the FHA and what it covers. Both federal and local governments have rules regarding fair housing, and you need to understand these requirements to protect yourself and your property. Knowing the details of this legislation can prevent legal issues with tenants for violations involving discrimination. It can also help guide your marketing strategy so you avoid using language that can be construed as discriminatory. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Welcome back to the Multifamily Man Podcast viewers and listeners! Angelo is continuing his deep dive into the Fair Housing Laws this week and the topic seems seems salacious written down but just like all of the other parts of this law, sex (and all that that entails) is a serious thing and not to be taken lightly as a property manager, employee or landlord.  So hit that play button and get your bo-monthly dose of education now!

Welcome back to the Multi Family Man Podcast with Angelo Webb.  In this episode, Angelo is continuing his deep-dive into the Fair Housing Laws and this time he is talking about "Family Status".  Did you know that it is illegal for a land lord or leasing company to deny housing to people based on what their family looks like?  As Angelo has said before, and will most definitely emphasize again, a lot of the people who break these laws are doing so without ill intent and are not wanting to be in violation of the law at all.  That just goes to show you that the law, while necessary, is complicated and needs to be treated with the utmost care and sincerity.  So tune in and join him on this deep dive today! 

Tune in to listen to Tri-Cities Real Estate Update with Lance Kenmore on NEWStalk 870AM KFLD every Saturday morning at 9:00 am. This week's broadcast topic is “Fair Housing Laws” This week Lance breaks down Fair Housing Laws – what they are, what they cover, and how to avoid violating them. The post Fair Housing Laws appeared first on Tri-Cities Real Estate Update.

Love Letters or Liability Letters? Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 is commonly referred to as the Fair Housing Act of 1968. Since 1968 its protections have been expanded significantly by amendment. Under current, updated law, the Fair Housing Act prohibits this discrimination because of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, and disability. Writing a letter to seller to express enjoyment of home including any of this information "violates" fair housing laws. Sponsored: Pre-emptive purchase offers could lead to Fair Housing Act questions: Careless seller representation is a leading cause of post-sale litigation. "An acceptance of a pre-emptive offer could easily be a setting for a Fair Housing violation. For example, the sellers and their seller’s agent are Caucasians. Their house sells after receiving a pre-emptive offer on Wednesday. The buyers are a childless white couple. However, over the previous five days, the seller’s agent had told families of color, a gay couple, a disabled person and a single mother wearing a hijab, “No offers until Friday at 4 p.m.” Guest column: Local Realtors embrace fair housing efforts: "In one case just a few weeks ago, an agent in my office was helping a Black buyer find a home to purchase when she got repeated calls from a seller’s agent asking if the buyer really had the money to buy and what he did for a living. The insinuation was clearly that the seller’s agent suspected the buyer might be earning money illegally. Even after we sent proof of funds and a letter of qualification from the buyers’ lender, the questions kept coming — and the other agent started asking the lender the same questions." In another case, involving a friend of mine in the San Fernando Valley a couple of years ago — pre-COVID — the discrimination was even more shocking. My friend, a Black agent, accompanied a white couple to inspect a home for sale, but when they got there the owner said the prospective buyers could come in, but the agent could not. The couple, to their credit, said if she can’t come in, we aren’t going to either. But when my friend contacted the seller’s agent, he stood up for his client and refused to educate them about what the law requires. Update 5-10-2021: Family photos, handwritten notes: Buying a home in area's real estate market is tough - Violation of Fair Housing Laws? Update 5-20-2021: Home buyers should think twice before sending a 'pick me' letter to the seller Update 5-22-2021: Buyers resort to 'sympathy' letters in competitive housing market Update 5-28-2021: 'Love letters' among popular real estate tools for hungry house buyers

Bob discusses the importance of understanding California landlord-tenant laws with Ted Smith, the owner and principal at Ted Smith Law in San Diego, CA. Being a landlord or property manager in California requires awareness of specific federal and state laws as well as local ordinances pertaining to renting to tenants. Some of the common legal pitfalls include violating fair housing laws, security deposit charges, how much can be charged for a tenant screening, procedural timing on serving notices for ending tenancy or if a tenant is late on rent. There are also many disclosures regarding environmental hazards, property particulars, and even bedbugs. Failure to follow the proper legal protocol could lead to lengthy and expensive disputes with a tenant and possibly financial penalties. In this episode, Bob and Ted cover many of the key legal aspects pertaining to being a landlord and why individual homeowners with the desire to rent their property should consider hiring a property manager rather than trying to do it themselves. Ted also offers many legal insights and some important guidance on staying in compliance during the rental process.

Pat Sandro is one of the original House Hack Babies.  The duplex that he grew up in was owned by his father, and the rent from the other unit helped pay for his diapers.  From an early age, Pat was paying attention to the way his father invested in real estate and self-managed the 36 units he'd acquired.  But it wasn't until after Pat became a physical therapist that he realized the true benefits of Real Estate Investing. On today's episode, Pat shares the good times & the bad times.  From the huge profits he made flipping condos in Florida before the crash, to the money he lost after 2009.  Pat talks about the multi-family properties he's acquired, the land contracts that provide 'mailbox money', and the 'do-it-yourself' management style he learned from his father. Pat also tells us about the vacant home he purchased and the horrific discovery in the basement.  You'll also learn about Fair Housing Laws regarding Emotional Support Animals, and how Pat found himself in trouble when he unknowingly violated these rules. This is an excellent conversation about the realities of owning and managing your own investment properties, and Pat doesn't hold back from sharing the good and the bad.  Enjoy!
