Fair Housing
An Oklahoma property manager who is interviewed as part of a HUD 'testing' program (where trained testers pose as renters) is asked to show an apartment. The manager should:
AAsk all visitors to prove they are not testers
BTreat all prospective tenants equally regardless of race, national origin, or other protected characteristics — testers have the same rights as actual renters under the Fair Housing Act✓ Correct
CRefuse to show units to first-time callers
DRequire advance written notice for all showings
Explanation
HUD and fair housing organizations use trained 'testers' who pose as renters to investigate discrimination. The Fair Housing Act protects testers just as it protects actual apartment seekers. Managers should treat all inquiries consistently and fairly.
