Cease & Desist! You are in Violation of the Fair Housing Act for saying, "Retirement"!
This MLS has gone way too Politically Correct!  They cited a Realtor for using the term, "Retirement", calling it "Potentially Offensive".  This MLS Committee enforces an unbelievably asinine list of Banned Words that will have you shaking your head in disbelief!
___________________________________________
The other day, I was notified by our local MLS that a word I had used in the marketing remarks of a new listing was potentially offensive, and was in violation of the Fair Housing Act.
The word was 'retirement.'
Here's the notice I received:
"Attached, please find a print out of a listing or listings from your office that NWMLS has found to contain one or more potentially offensive references that may violate the Fair Housing Act . The word(s) have been deleted from your listing(s).
The potentially offensive word(s) are noted on the print out for your information. NWMLS searches for the following terms which may, if used in a certain context, be considered in violation. (This list is for example only, to help you understand the types of potentially offensive words your agents should avoid)
Age, Amen, Arab, God, godly, Man, Men, Able bodied, Adult, African, Agile, AIDS ,alcoholic, American, Ancestry, Asian, Bachelor, Black, 'Blind, Board approval, Buddhist, Catholic, Caucasian, Chicana, ... more
