SWV Luncheon: Fair Housing for Maintenance

Maintenance teams are often the first point of contact when Fair Housing issues arise—and how those situations are handled matters. Knowing what to do (and what not to do) can help protect both residents and your property.

Join us for Fair Housing for Maintenance, a technician-focused training designed specifically for maintenance professionals working in apartment communities and rental homes. This session provides clear, practical guidance on how Fair Housing laws apply to everyday maintenance responsibilities.

Led by Taz Nelson, Area Maintenance Manager with Avenue 5, this training goes beyond theory and focuses on real-world scenarios maintenance teams regularly encounter on the job.

What You’ll Learn

• How federal and local Fair Housing laws apply to maintenance technicians

• How to handle requests professionally while reducing risk for your property
• Practical insights from an experienced area maintenance leader

Who Should Attend

• Maintenance technicians
• Lead maintenance professionals
• Maintenance supervisors and managers
