What occurs when the equal application of a leasing requirement has an unequal effect on a protected class?
When the equal application of a leasing requirement disproportionately impacts a protected class, it may lead to claims of discrimination under fair housing laws. This situation, often referred to as "disparate impact," occurs when a policy, while neutral on its face, results in unfavorable outcomes for certain groups based on race, ethnicity, gender, or other protected characteristics. Such effects can undermine the intent of equal opportunity in housing and may necessitate reevaluation of the policy to ensure it does not perpetuate inequality. Ultimately, landlords and property managers must be vigilant to ensure their practices do not inadvertently discriminate against any group.
