Course Description
The Fair Housing Act protects people with disabilities from discrimination in housing. But what does that mean? In what ways does the Act do so? What must housing providers know? This course will answer those questions. It utilizes hypothetical scenarios to highlight important topics including reasonable accommodations, reasonable modifications, and assistance animals.
Learning objectives:
- Understand how fair housing protections for people with disabilities differ from the protections afforded to other protected classes
- Learn how reasonable accommodations work
- Review how reasonable modifications work
- Dissect the current law concerning assistance animals in housing, including a new Illinois statute that became effective in January 2020
