Explanation
Fair housing testing (sending testers of different races, national origins, or other protected classes) is used by fair housing organizations like HUD, local fair housing councils, and nonprofits to detect discriminatory practices. Testers with similar qualifications but different protected characteristics apply for housing to see if they are treated differently. Test results are used as evidence in fair housing complaints and lawsuits.
