How to Defend Yourself Against the MCAD
At MassLandlords we spend a lot of time teaching anti-discrimination. But doing things in compliance with the spirit and the letter of the law is no guarantee you won't be sued. These days we can be sued for anything! So it's up to us to defend ourselves. This presentation will review:
- Common complaints received by the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination (MCAD).
- Surprisingly, how your response to an MCAD letter could turn into your entire trial.
- Why it's important to get an attorney.
- "Finding of probable cause."
- Appeals.
- Settlements.
Attendees will leave knowing how to demonstrate that your actions were compliant and in the spirit of fair housing. This presentation assumes you have done things correctly to start. See discrimination laws if in doubt.
This will be a procedural discussion. We will not be giving legal advice.
