Cazenovia Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 105 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 105-5
Discrimination in provision of brokerage services
Operative Text
It shall be unlawful within the Village of Cazenovia to deny any person access to or membership or participation in any multiple-listing service, real estate broker's organization, or other services, organization, or facility relating to the business of selling or renting dwellings, or to discriminate against him in the terms or conditions of such access, membership, or participation, on account of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin.
Section 105-5 of Cazenovia Village's Code of Ordinances prohibits anyone within the village from blocking a person's access to, or membership in, real estate brokerage services, multiple-listing services, or related organizations based on race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin. The rule also bars imposing different terms or conditions of participation in those services on the same protected grounds. It applies broadly to the business of selling or renting dwellings, covering both formal membership structures and general access to industry facilities.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating in Cazenovia Village who use or participate in multiple-listing services or real estate broker organizations should be aware that Section 105-5 requires equal access to those services for all participants regardless of protected characteristics. Compliant operators generally ensure that any referrals, cooperative arrangements, or memberships they facilitate do not impose different terms based on race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin. Maintaining consistent, documented policies for how brokerage and listing services are accessed or offered is a common practice among operators seeking to align with this provision.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Under Section 105-5 of the Cazenovia Village Code, individuals have the right to access real estate brokerage services, multiple-listing services, and related organizations on equal terms when seeking to rent or purchase a dwelling. If a person believes they have been denied access or subjected to unequal conditions based on a protected characteristic such as race, familial status, or national origin, general enforcement paths may include filing a complaint with a fair housing agency or consulting a tenant-rights or fair housing organization familiar with local and state law. Documenting any communications or interactions related to the denial of service can be relevant when pursuing any of these avenues under this provision.
