Under One Roof with RHAWA
Mike Chin (Seattle Office of Civil Rights)
Mike stops by to update us on how a fair housing claim is handled (2:27), settlement options before a case is resolved (7:36), points of confusion for both landlords and tenants (17:45), and the new Renting in Seattle web resource (21:13). We also talk about the genesis of the Fair Chance Housing ordinance (25:57), the SOCR Testing Program for landlords (34:57), and what alternatives you can consider when you cannot look at an applicant's criminal history (52:37). We wrap up the episode with contact information for the departments you may want to speak with in regard to fair housing (61:11).
