MORE ABOUT THE TEST
Last year, was the first that the Fair Housing Council of Oregon conducted discrimination tests in Corvallis. The nonprofit has been hired by cities to do the tests since 2009.
The council’s testers used listings in the local newspaper and online [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] sources (including Craigslist) to find landlords and rental agents that clearly indicated that they had vacancies. The test included a range of high-rent and low-rent living spaces.
The 30 calls in the 15 tests were a double-blind. The landlord or agent did not know, and never will, that they were contacted for the test. The testers hired to do the calls were not told what they were testing for.The number of tests in Corvallis was [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] small compared to other cities such as Beaverton where the council did 75 tests (150 calls) to test for housing discrimination last year.“In Corvallis, the national origin was a little out of line with what we saw elsewhere,” said Maloy Good,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], excutive director of the Fair Housing Council of Oregon. “It was a higher (failure) rate.”
The one other protected class that the Fair Housing Council of Oregon has [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] tested extensively across the state is race, using an African American tester. The council does tests both over the phone and in person, but only used phone tests in Corvallis last year.
