Anna Reosti (she/her) is a sociologist and a Research Professor at the American Bar Foundation. Through different lines of inquiry, her research investigates how law shapes economic and social relations in the rental housing market. Her publications examine the consequences of modern tenant screening practices for rental housing access and discrimination, the capacity of local innovations in fair housing law to improve outcomes for renters with stigmatizing background records, and responses to regulation among “mom-and-pop” landlords. Professor Reosti’s current research investigates the rise of rental ownership obscurity in Chicago and its implications for housing conditions and legal enforcement of habitability standards.
