We all pay someone to do work for us at some point or another. But did you know that how you classify those funds paid (code and book that payment accounting wise), can determine if you think they are a 1099 worker or a W-2 employee?

This week on Your Landlord Resource we are discussing the two rules that the Federal government and potentially your state government use to determine the difference between the two.

It’s a short episode that’s packed with a lot of good info to keep your business out of trouble in case you are ever audited…and we are seeing a lot of people we know go through this right now and its NO FUN!

As landlords, you must balance protecting your property and tenants with complying with anti-discrimination laws. This episode explores how the Fair Housing Act intersects with tenant screening practices, focusing on HUD's 2016 guidance regarding criminal records.

We explain why a blanket “no criminal history” policy can lead to unintended discrimination, particularly under the concept of disparate impact. We also break down state-specific laws, such as “ban the box” ordinances that restrict when and how landlords can inquire about criminal records.

Of course, we giving advice on documenting decisions, staying compliant with state and local laws, and common pitfalls to avoid.

If you’re a landlord navigating tenant screening, this episode will equip you with the knowledge to create a fair, legally compliant, and effective criminal background check policy.
