When you get questions that you can’t answer, or answer incorrectly, you are setting yourself up for fair housing complaints.  And yes, you can personally be named party to complaints and lawsuits.  Your service techs can also be part of complaints filed.  We often think that fair housing is simply common sense.  However, staying on top of different rulings and remaining educated can save you and your owner/management company from paying big dollars for not having correct answers to questions.  For example:

~~> I know that you don’t allow bull dogs as pets, but can I have my pit bull as my companion animal?

~~> I am blind.  How do I meet the requirements to pick up after my dog?

~~> I have been in prison.  Will you lease me an apartment?

~~> Do I have to print all my documents in different languages?

~~> Who is responsible for translating if the prospective resident doesn’t speak English?

~~> Can I evict a resident who keeps calling 911 because of her abusive ex-spouse?

~~> Residents are complaining about the smell of marijuana smoke coming one particular apartment.  We have asked the pot smoker about it, and he denies it.  What should we do?  

~~> The maintenance tech found a marijuana plant growing in a resident’s apartment.  It’s just one little plant.  Can we just ignore it?

~~> A female resident says that one of our employees patted her on her bottom.  He says they always hug when they say hello and she usually initiates the hug.  Do we have a problem?
