Here Are The “Top Ten” 2012 Fair Housing Defense Blog Posts

By Scott M. Badami on January 4, 2013

With the start of the New Year, it is time for the always popular Top Ten list of Fair Housing Defense blog posts for 2012. These are the ten most read posts during 2012, with links to each individual article. Interestingly, the most visited entry was my 2011 Top Ten list. I will take that as a good sign. The other most visited posts are varied — some involve specific cases while others discuss a certain area of the law (such as reasonable accommodations, service animals, and familial status discrimination). Here they are:
