Another discussion mentioned a fair housing trap, what is it?

Isaac S.
Posted

what are fair housing traps? do landlords get hit with fair housing traps for ESA pets? 

Are they(government) only going for extreme examples of FHA violations on a large scale? are they actually going after small(less than 100 units) landlords?

Does the government pursue this? or is it private(tort) attorneys?

I have never had any problems, but, my practices and policy are in-line with the law and I am genuinely not a discriminatory person when it comes race, gender, religion, disability, age, etc....

However, this other thread about Emotional Support Animals and FHA laws got me thinking about the above questions.

I have always heard about FHA Law at management classes/seminars, but, I am curious about the reality of all the "FHA boogeyman" claims and caveats that you always see and hear, thrown around.

Who gets sued or fined? How often? For what violations? Do they get warnings first?
