City of Portland Fair Access in Renting Ordinance, Applications and Screening
Multifamily NW welcomes landlord/tenant law attorney Leah Sykes for an in-depth look at Portland’s Fair Access in Renting (“FAIR”) ordinances. These regulations significantly changed the resident application process and security deposit protocols, with many updates reflected in the Multifamily NW Forms Collection to ensure compliance.
This 1.5-hour webinar will focus on the applications and screening requirements under FAIR. Leah will walk attendees through the practical implications of the rules, highlight key compliance considerations, and share updated forms designed to support property managers and housing providers.
The FAIR ordinances went into effect on March 1, 2020—don’t miss this opportunity to make sure you’re up to date.
