Aegis Firma helps real estate teams manage AI compliance obligations across their technology stack.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Fair Housing Act apply to AI tenant screening tools?
Yes. The Fair Housing Act applies to AI tenant screening regardless of whether the AI was the direct cause of discrimination. HUD has issued guidance confirming that algorithmic screening tools creating disparate impact based on race, national origin, or other protected characteristics violate the Fair Housing Act. The company using the AI tool is responsible, even if the tool was third-party.
