Closing the gap between leads and new leases comes down to the details. And Fair Housing Act<\/strong> (FHA) compliance is a major part of that. Offer a welcoming and nondiscriminatory environment for every renter to safeguard your property\u2019s marketing efforts<\/a> today and continue attracting qualified renters in the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Properties lose much more than a prospective renter when they are found to be out of compliance with Fair Housing regulations, and complaints may be more common than you think. Some 20,860 rental housing discrimination complaints<\/a> were filed in 2020 alone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of all housing discrimination complaints filed, rental-related complaints happen the most.  This is because renting is the most frequent type of housing transaction. Plus, the simplicity of rental transactions compared to home buying and other transactions can often make it easier to pinpoint discrimination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The U.S. Housing Department of Housing and Urban Development<\/a> (HUD) defines the Fair Housing Act as protecting \u201cpeople from discrimination when they are renting or buying a home\u201d and prohibits making, printing or publishing \u201cany notice statement or advertisement with respect to the sale or rental of a dwelling that indicates any preference, limitation or discrimination.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ll cover common areas that are overlooked and how properties can secure their marketing and advertising at every stage in the renter journey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Refresh your awareness of protected classes<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

There are seven protected classes under the FHA. It is illegal to show a preference, alter housing terms or refuse to accommodate based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex, disability and familial status. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While these seven are nationally held regulations, it\u2019s also critical to understand the protected classes within your local jurisdiction. Many state laws have broader protections for classes such as source of income, marital status and sexual orientation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The messaging, imagery and advertising targeting you select for your community\u2019s marketing initiatives are all subject to the FHA and local fair housing laws or regulations. It\u2019s important to secure each tactic by understanding guidelines and eliminating ways that a property may unintentionally breach these laws and regulations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fair messaging and property descriptions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t get your property into a bind with property descriptions that could be discriminatory. One way to do this is by focusing on the amenities or physical attributes that make your property is ideal for renters, not who your ideal renter is. Stay away from statements that could be seen as excluding someone in a protected class or showing a preference for a specific characteristic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, avoid language such as \u201cperfect for families,\u201d and instead share the facts of what your property offers and its amenities. Describe amenities such as playgrounds, large yards, pool, common outdoor eating areas or nearby parks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clarity in communication is also crucial here. Give consistent and truthful information to all parties interested in your property. This includes inquiries about your community\u2019s availability, price, amenities and policies across all digital channels and within onsite communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inclusive imagery and design details<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Equity also comes down to your property\u2019s visual presence, whether that\u2019s the website, advertisements, onsite materials, welcome packets, email campaigns, social media or listings.  HUD requires<\/a> that all properties include an equal housing opportunity \u201clogo type, statement, or slogan\u201d in advertisements.  Also, if you use models in your advertisements, be sure to show diversity of residents within your chosen images to present an inclusive and welcoming environment to all prospects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Effective and compliant audience targeting<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

While marketers in other industries may build lists based on a specific set of demographics (age, gender, zip code, etc.), targeting or suppressing groups based on any of the protected classes is strictly prohibited for the housing industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For property teams that build lists manually, this can often lead to compiling audience lists that are too broad. Budgets can be overspent targeting people who aren\u2019t actively interested in renting a home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to refine your audience while maintain FHA Regulations<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The difference is in the data. Instead of pulling together broad lists in the hopes that you\u2019ll reach someone who might be looking for an apartment, multifamily advertising platforms are uniquely positioned to identify actively searching renters. Industry-leading solutions for search and social advertising use first-party data from multifamily-advertising platforms to serve ads to renters who are actively looking in a given area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Geofencing is another Fair Housing-friendly solution (while restrictions do apply) for multifamily advertisers who want to refine their audiences to reach prospective renters in their favorite nearby locations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Powered by location-based technology, geofencing allows multifamily marketers to choose locations where they would like to display digital ads. Once a \u201cdigital fence\u201d is created, ads can appear in real-time to everyone visiting nearby hotspots like their favorite coffee shops, fitness centers, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The talking stage: Compliance\u2019s role in renter communication and onsite support<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Once the leads roll in from your marketing efforts, it\u2019s time for the moments of truth: follow-up calls, tours and final conversations. This is where your property needs well-trained renter support teams, onsite staff  and consistent communication. Properties are often most vulnerable to compliance<\/strong> missteps <\/strong>during these one-on-one interactions between the property and the renter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FHA-trained support teams can act as additional resources to answer renter inquiries and guide conversations in a way to maintain compliance. Ensure that all renter-facing staff on site are trained in how to provide FHA compliant responses, whether those responses are in person, over email, or even in automated interactions, phone conversations or webchat. And have a process in place for monitoring renter communications and marking corrections if any complaints arise. If handled well, these critical conversations will build trust with renters so they can confidently move forward with signing a lease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
