Portland's New FAIR Ordinance
The heart of the FAIR Act (Fair Access in Renting), is about addressing the criteria that continues to be used as a proxy for race, including criminal records, income requirements, and credit scores, which lead to discrimination and disparate outcomes.
Key takeaways include: low barrier criteria, a 72 hour notice period, the right to request an accommodation or modification, non-applicant tenants, max screening fees, individual assessments, and new $250 fines. Watch below as David Moore of Equity Advantage, and our latest Expert Russell White discuss the key points of the "FAIR" Act, and how it applies today!
