Dealing with Tenant-on-Tenant and Workplace Harassment
Event Description
Dealing with tenant-on-tenant harassment is an evolving area of fair housing law. Landlords are generally familiar with how their actions can be construed as discriminatory. But how should landlords react when one resident is violating the fair housing rights of another resident?
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination based on sex in the workplace – including sexual harassment. The law applies to employers with 15 or more employees. In addition to having a written sexual harassment policy, companies should also have an effective complaint procedure.
Many businesses in the United States have no policies regarding sexual harassment, and such harassment occurs in the highest levels of corporate management. However, the risk of not having such a policy far outweighs the effort required to implement one.
These risks are greater now than ever before. Victims of sexual harassment may now recover damages (including punitive damages) and the Supreme Court has made it easier to prove injury.
This Three-hour training is designed to help property owners and managers understand the current legal state of these two issues and to establish policies to limit potential liability. The session will include a discussion of the two most relevant court cases relating to tenant-on-tenant harassment as well as cases that outline employer risk regarding harassment in the workplace. Participants will also be provided with recommended policies to limit potential liability.
Each registrant must provide an individual/unique email at registration.

Registration/Fee Payment & Cancellation Policy
Payment & Cancellation Policy
Each person who views a MA-AHMA-hosted webinar must register and pay for individual access; group viewing via one registration/payment is prohibited and dishonest. Registration and registration fee payments must be received by any posted deadline or 5 business days prior to the webinar date if no deadline is posted on the registration page. Registration fees may be refunded less a $50 cancellation charge if a cancellation notice is received in writing via email to info@mid-atlanticahma.org by any posted deadline or at least 5 business days prior to the event if no deadline is posted. Non-payment of the registration fee does not cancel your registration and all no-shows will be responsible for payment of the full registration fee. No refunds or transfers are provided after the cancellation deadline (i.e., within 5 business days of the event or any posted deadline); substitutions are permitted until 1 day prior to an event. Certificates of participation will be held until full/correct payment is received and if the company has any delinquent MA-AHMA invoices. Non-payment of fees may result in registration refusal for future events. Corrective invoices will be issued for non-members registering/paying at the member rate and the balance due must be paid by the event date or upon receipt of the corrective invoice. A $50 late fee will be assessed on all payments received after the payment deadline. The webinar link you receive is personalized to you and should not be shared; unauthorized use of your personal link and/or multiple/simultaneous log-ins using your link may result in the assessment of additional registration fees. NOTE: This policy supersedes any policy or statement regarding cancellations that may appear on automated webinar confirmations from the instructor or webinar platform (e.g., GoToWebinar, Zoom, etc.); cancellations are ONLY accepted via email to info@mid-atlanticahma.org as described in this policy.
