This million-dollar-plus settlement is a wake-up call for all housing providers. Check out the case review to see if your screening practices are at risk.

If enforcement priorities shift…does compliance still matter?

Short answer: Yes.
Long answer: The absence of visibility is not the absence of liability.

Fair housing complaints, lawsuits, and penalties don’t disappear just because the landscape changes.

So the real question is:
