Plain English

The rule is designed to ensure that the public has ready access to information about local human relations protections when engaging with real estate professionals. It places the distribution responsibility on the commission and the posting responsibility on licensed real estate practitioners.

Plain English — not legal advice.

For Property Managers

Under Ottawa Ch. 46 § 46-44, real estate brokers and salespersons licensed by the state and practicing in Ottawa or its environs are expected to obtain the required notice from the commission and display it in a conspicuous public area of their business premises. Compliant operators keep the notice continuously maintained — meaning it should not be removed, obscured, or allowed to become illegible. Property owners who work through licensed brokers or agents may want to confirm that their representatives are meeting this posting requirement.

General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.

For Tenants

Ottawa Ch. 46 § 46-44 establishes that when you visit a licensed real estate broker or salesperson's office in Ottawa or the surrounding area, a notice explaining your human relations protections under this article should be visibly posted. If no such notice is displayed, that may indicate a compliance gap worth reporting to the Ottawa human relations commission. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with local human relations law can help explain what protections the posted notice is meant to communicate.
