For Property Managers

Under Phoenix Ch. 50 Human Relations § 50-86, the Fair Housing Review Board is the oversight body that property owners and managers may encounter in fair housing matters within the village. Compliant operators generally familiarize themselves with the board's composition and appointment structure so they understand the authority reviewing any fair housing concerns. Knowing that board members are village residents serving defined terms can help operators contextualize the local governance framework around fair housing obligations.
