Explanation
Fair housing testers are trained volunteers who pose as home buyers or renters to document discriminatory treatment. Paired testing (one tester from a protected class, one from the majority group) is used to compare treatment. The PHRC, HUD, and private fair housing organizations in Pennsylvania (including Housing Equality Center of PA) use testers to document discrimination in sales, rentals, and mortgage lending. Tester evidence is admissible in fair housing cases.
