Cue the "Metal Health" music

It's continuing education time again.

And I just learned that failure to display the HUD-approved fair housing logo is an implicit admission that I am in violation of federal fair housing laws. No, I didn't forget my purple.

I. Hate. Stupid.

i know all 2 well the BS that is HUD and public housing!

Here's a gem.

When a person asks me about the racial/religious/etc make-up of a particular area or neighborhood, the acceptable answer is

"The Fair Housing Act prohibits me from providing that kind of information. I recommend you contact the school district, municipal government, or the local library."

Rep to the person who can pinpoint the hypocrisy in this "acceptable" response.

LOL! I'd guess those are 3 groups which are not supposed to track such information.

BTW, your signature always reminds me of the time a customer told me "we Gingers need to stick together" I expected her to follow up with "so we can steal more souls." lol

It's public census data.

Question for the "general public:" Were you aware that there were two different licensee statuses for real estate practitioners (broker and salesperson)? Did such a distinction matter to you in your choice of a practitioner to represent you? IOW, did you care if your practitioner was licensed as a broker or salesperson or did it not matter?

 

[Mr Evilwrench]

I just want somebody that knows WTF they're doing; I don't want to have to do the research to distinguish the differences between two titles I've never heard of. A "broker" can't sell me something? Get me a hammer and help me aim it at my head. So, what befalls those who are in violation of fair housing laws? It's one of those things where it's impossible to do business while in violation, right?

 

[88GT]

Fair Housing violations are a big deal. They carry hefty fines and can result in license revocation. Of course, anyone can claim discrimination and the default is to assume guilt. The licensee's hearing is generally to prove he's innocent.

What a crock of crap!

Is this part of the new registration regulations. I do not remember this when we had rentals. I had some issues with those we would not rent to for obvious reasons (thugs/drugs/bugs) but not the HUD thing.

Add this to the already considerable list of reasons why I never wanted to get into the landlord business. I don't know how my friends retain their sanity.

No, for real estate licensure. Wouldn't be so bad but they get things wrong. And it perpetuates ignorance. Drives me crazy.

The hypocrisy is that I am prohibited from sharing the information in an effort to prevent discrimination. However, all of the acceptable sources of information are government sources. So I can't "discriminate," but government can.

 

[actaeon277]

I don't see how you can tolerate being a landlord.

Rules/Regulations are driving a lot of small business owners out.

The gaming rules and alcohol rules drive me crazy.
