Description
The course encompasses a review of the Fair Housing Act, addressing what can and cannot be done. Much of this area of the law involves definitions that assist in answering many questions that may arise, such as: “Is a dwelling the man-made improvement on land or can it include raw land?”; “To be aggrieved, does one have to actually be injured or merely perceive they might be injured?”; “Are Adults Only communities allowed?”; and, “What is the difference between blockbusting and steering?.” Also included is a review of issues relating to enforcement of the law and the penalties for a violation. Students are given a historical perspective, as well as active involvement in determining whether example scenarios presented are violations of the Fair Housing Act.
