Deaf Tester Wanted for Fair Housing Rights – Austin<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am the Fair Housing Testing Coordinator for Austin Tenants’ Council (ATC) and I am recruiting for individuals interested in being housing<\/span> testers in Austin & MSA. What a housing tester does is similar to “mystery shopping”. A tester will call an apartment complex and inquire about apartment vacancies, then document it on a report form. Testers are given stipends for their time and mileage reimbursement. Also, a housing tester contributes to a treating cause in civil rights. The civil right to be treating<\/span> equally when searching for a rental property\/community for<\/span> one’s residence. Please contact me directly 512-474-7007 x104.<\/p>\n
