Avoiding Lawsuits from Drive-by Testers
Indiana has seen a large increase in drive-by lawsuits. Even if you are not found in violation of the Fair Housing Act or Americans with Disability Act (ADA) these lawsuits are extremely costly to defend. Lawsuits filed by drive-by testers are almost always preventable. Attend this webinar to find out how to avoid violations.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify areas of your property that testers typically focus on
- Specific accessibility requirements
- Common violations
- Differences between Fair Housing Act accessibility and ADA
- What to do if a tester identifies a violation
