Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 72-5 of Champlain's Code of Ordinances ch. 72, property owners and managers who participate in multiple-listing services or real estate broker organizations generally ensure that their engagement with those services does not involve excluding or disadvantaging others on the basis of protected characteristics. Compliant operators typically review membership and participation practices to confirm they are applied uniformly regardless of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin. Maintaining consistent, documented standards for how brokerage services are accessed or used is a common feature of compliant operations.
