What is Testing?

Testing refers to the use of individuals who, without intent to rent or purchase a home, apartment, or other dwelling, pose as prospective renters or purchasers to gather information that may indicate whether a housing provider is complying with fair housing laws. This information may be the only evidence available to prove that a housing provider has engaged in unlawful conduct.

How to Become a Tester

Testers must not have any history of felony convictions, interest in the outcome of the testing, be a real estate professional, or have a conflict of interest relating to any housing, loan, or insurance entity.
