Welcome to Unit 1: Course Introduction: DC Fair Housing; Lesson 1: An Orientation to Your Online Learning Environment
Introduction & Objectives As a real estate professional, you know that following federal and state fair housing laws is essential to creating a respectable, successful real estate practice. Fair housing laws are designed to ensure that qualified renters and homebuyers receive fair and equal treatment, and it is up to you to ensure that your business adheres to those laws and that discriminatory behavior is not tolerated. The purpose of this course is to deepen your knowledge on the core concepts of fair housing in the District of Columbia, and also to inform you of the latest developments and controversies regarding the application of fair housing theory in conducting real estate business. Throughout this course, we will explore how federal fair housing laws have evolved over time to become what they are today. We will also take a look at how DC laws support and expand upon those federal laws. We'll discuss each federally and DC-recognized protected class. Finally, we will look at several recent case studies that illustrate the consequences of discriminatory behavior. Objectives Identify federal fair housing laws and the protected classes/traits and lending laws. Describe DC Human Rights Act housing laws and its protected classes/traits and initiatives, as well as prohibited activities and punitive damages. Explain the enforcement provisions and penalties for violations and how to file fair housing complaints.

Key Points: Review of Laws and Basics of Fair Housing The U.S. Supreme Court’s 1896 decision in Plessy v. Ferguson was the first to establish the separate but equal doctrine of legalized racial segregation as constitutional. In 1968, Congress passed the Fair Housing Act. The federal Fair Housing Act recognizes the following seven protected classes: sex, race, color, religion, national origin, familial status, and disability. The Fair Housing Act covers "dwellings," or structures designed or occupied as residences and land offered for sale for the building of a residence. Certain housing is exempt from fair housing law. This includes housing owned by religious organizations, housing designated for seniors, private clubs, and owner-occupied housing in one- to four-unit dwellings. However, discriminatory advertising is never allowed.
