City of Portland Fair Access in Renting Ordinance, Applications and Screening
Multifamily NW welcomes landlord-tenant attorney Leah Sykes for an in-depth review of Portland’s Fair Access in Renting (“FAIR”) ordinances. These regulations significantly changed the resident application process and security deposit protocols, reshaping how housing providers approach screening and compliance.
This 1.5-hour webinar will focus specifically on application and screening requirements under FAIR. Leah will break down the practical implications of the rules, highlight key compliance considerations, and review updates reflected in the Multifamily NW Forms Collection designed to help property managers and housing providers stay compliant.
The FAIR ordinances have been in effect since March 1, 2020—join us to ensure your policies, procedures, and forms are aligned with current requirements and best practices.
