Course Summary
Breaking Barriers: Fair Housing
Real estate professionals have a responsibility to know and
understand the applicable fair housing and civil rights laws governing their
workplace as well as their personal conduct. The public expects and deserves competent
actions based upon thorough knowledge. However, federal definitions of
“protected classes” expand and change. As licensees learn about and
review protected classes and fair housing laws throughout this course, they
will become better equipped to act with honesty, competence, and intelligence
in serving their clients and customers.
In Breaking
Barriers in Fair Housing, we discuss the protections provided by the Fair
Housing Act, and how licensees can best protect clients and their firms from
discrimination.
