70 Comments on Fair housing and ActiveRain
It was a great idea for you to post this to remind everyone of the advertising restrictions required by the Fair Housing Act. Moreover, and with respect to Active Rain itself, this posting should help it defend itself on the oft chance it ever gets sued by someone with an allegation of violations of the Fair Housing Act. Any forum where properties can be listed for sale is a potential target for advertising-related Fair Housing Act violations (e.g., Craigslist got sued), and this posting makes clear that Active Rain does not permit any advertising that is contrary to the law.
Thanks for the update!
Thanks for reminding us!
I am thankful for a government which cares enough to require we respect one another's rights in Fair Housing. I just saw a movie with Samuel Jackson in it that sends chills up my spine at the injustice of people not trying to get along and allow others to live in peace in their homes.
These have been our (lending and real estate) rules for quite a while and I am glad AR has made them part of your site.
Instead of counting on others (NAR)to be the ones to stamp out the mistakes we are making in concerns of Fair Housing, it is time for the Realtor to step and hold themselves accountable.
We should consider ourselves in the" AGE OF ACCOUNTABILITY"
I understand the concept and the need for the fair housing laws but it has gotten out of hand and gone to the point that we cannot answer simple questions that our clients ask. Questions that any other professional can answer....just not us.
Great input, I cannot tell you how many times I see this abused.............. Good Post!

I know I have Reported a Concern on this post before for comment spam for an MI divorce attorney. Was it law offices of Jannlle J. Zawaideh? I don't remember...
AR feel free to delete this too... my feelings won't be hurt.
In our Market in St Louis, MO, I would only hope that each and every broker would ensure that their agents understood that this applies not only to their actions and conduct daily but also to their blogs and website content as wel. It is very unfortunate that some real estate agents need to be reminded of the Federal Fair Housing Act.
Federal Fair Housing Act should be top of mind, Always!
What designation Art? I avoid designations with a yearly fee. Is there a Fair Housing designation? What is it?
I surely hope that everyone knows these and knows these already! We get enough training on this with mandatory training and CE credits required for renewing our licenses.
Thats good that we have these rules here at the bottom.
File your nails, soak your feet, apply a facial mask....feel good about yourself...knowing that you are doing the very best thing you can for someone who has trusted you with their future. All the best of 2011 !
I never thought to click on this link -- glad I did. I'm going to purr something similar on my site. --JM
I wish zillow followed the rules of the fair housing act.
This is a perfect reminder for those who want to vent or get things of of chest.
Fair housing laws are vital to the health of the country, for its vitality, direction, & moral compass. We are all a nationof imigrants & that is what has made the country so great.
Written back in February 2007... this post still needs to be highlighted!
