Fair Housing Advertising Word/Phrase List

IMPORTANT: This list is not all-inclusive, but is provided to REIN members as a Fair Housing reminder when writing any public or member only listing description. A rule of thumb is that the listing agent should promote the features of the listing and not use any language for describing the type of buyer or tenant, or the type of neighborhood. REIN is not offering legal advice; if you have any questions you should consult with your own legal counsel.
