Explanation
Fair housing testers are individuals who pose as prospective buyers or renters to investigate whether housing providers are discriminating based on protected characteristics. Pairs of testers (e.g., one white, one Black applicant with identical financial profiles) apply for the same housing. Evidence of disparate treatment gathered by testers is admissible in fair housing complaints and has led to significant enforcement actions nationwide.
