FAIR HOUSING ACT (FHA)/ ANTI-DISCRIMINATORY LAWS & ORDINANCES: Under the FHA, state laws and many local ordinances, no individual shall be subjected to discrimination because of race, color, gender, religion, sex, handicap, mental or physical ability, age, sexual preference, familial status or national origin in the sale, rental or advertising of dwellings, in the provision of brokerage services, or in the availability of residential real estate-related transactions. Said another way, fair housing is the right of individuals to obtain housing of their choice without discrimination based upon the above-mentioned categories. The Gillespie Group expects each of its Associates to fully grasp and understand these anti-discriminatory policies and to adhere to these laws and ordinances in situations that are certain to occur in the ordinary course of business that the Gillespie Group provides to its clients. To that end, the Gillespie Group requires each Associate to periodically complete training courses on fair housing, landlord/tenant law and housing subsidy programs. Such training shall be paid for by the Gillespie Group and the Associate shall be compensated for the time either attending such training in person or via online courses.
