    $200 for completing lending tester training.

    $100 for each lending test.

What do testers do? The purpose of testing is to monitor compliance with the Fair Housing Act and other civil rights laws. Fair housing testers are trained to go undercover and shop for rental housing, mortgages, or a home to purchase. Testers write a detailed report about their shopping experience, and may later serve as a witness in complaints.

Tester Requirements: Be over the age of 18; Have no felony convictions; Never have been terminated or asked to leave a position because of fraud or dishonesty; Have access to a computer, a phone, and reliable internet connection; and be able to write clear reports in English.

Work remotely! All testing is conducted by phone or online, and you don't need to live in Maryland to work as a tester!
