Virginia Post-Licensing: Fair Housing, ADA, and Civil Rights
Are hoarders protected by fair housing law? Smokers? What about sexual orientation? And what does HUD have to say about screening tenant applicants based on criminal records?
The two-hour Virginia Post-Licensing: Fair Housing, ADA, and Civil Rights course is designed to give you a comprehensive overview of fair housing laws relating to the sale and rental of real estate. In addition, the course provides a detailed look at federal civil rights and anti-discrimination laws regarding real property transactions and business establishments. The course also offers an explanation of voluntary affirmative marketing agreements and their application in the real estate industry.
