Fair Housing Rules and Regulations

The Fair Housing Rules and Regulations outline rules REALTORS must adhere to when advertising the sale, rental, or financing of dwellings to ensure compliance with the Fair Housing Act. Although the Equal Housing Opportunity logo is not required in all advertising, Appendix I to Part 109 of the Fair Housing Rules specifically states: 

fair housing policies and practices provided in this section (109.30 Fair housing policy and practices) as evidence of compliance with the prohibitions against discrimination in advertising under the Fair Housing Act. 

(a) Use of Equal Housing Opportunity logotype, statement, or slogan. All advertising of residential real estate for sale, rent, or financing should contain an equal housing opportunity logotype, statement, or slogan as a means of educating the homeseeking public that the property is available to all persons regardless of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin."...
