Fair Housing: Screening, Verifications & Risk Reduction

Join this practical training, built for landlords and property managers who want to reduce risk and stay compliant. This session focuses on the highest-risk area of tenant screening, including income, credit, criminal background checks, and a deep dive into identity verification (SSNs, ITINs, and alternative documents) without creating liability. You’ll learn how to avoid common mistakes like inconsistent standards, poor documentation, and improper ID requirements, while building clear, defensible policies.

The training also includes a breakdown of a local California Attorney General enforcement case involving a Redding-based property management company, showing how everyday decisions can lead to investigations and penalties. Walk away with practical strategies for consistent screening, proper documentation, and compliance that protects your business.
