We will consider live meetings when the time is optimal and we have a colcation to meet. We also understand the difficult for some to pay befroe the webinar due to accounting policies.

You will learn how to avoid Fair Housing inconsistencies and pitfalls that are often unintentionally included in advertising, as well as the connection between the Violence Against Woman Act (VAWA) and fair housing. Learn about the most common complaints and how an “innocent comment” can turn into a discrimination complaint. We will also discuss how to be “reasonable” with reasonable accommodation requests while following your company policies and procedures to maintain consistency.
