Discrimination in provision of brokerage services
Operative Text
It shall be unlawful within the Town of Verona to deny any person access to or membership or participation in any multiple-listing service, real estate broker's organization or other service, 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 37-6 of Verona, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 37 makes it unlawful within the Town of Verona to exclude any person from, or impose unequal terms on their participation in, real estate brokerage organizations, multiple-listing services, or similar industry facilities. The prohibition applies when such exclusion or unequal treatment is based on race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin. This rule targets discrimination at the professional-services and organizational level of the housing market, not just at the point of a specific rental or sale transaction.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers who participate in multiple-listing services or real estate broker organizations operating in the Town of Verona should be aware that § 37-6 extends fair-housing obligations into those professional settings. Compliant operators generally ensure that any organization or service they use for listing or renting dwellings does not apply membership criteria or participation conditions that vary based on protected characteristics. Reviewing the membership policies of any brokerage or listing service used for Verona properties is a common practice among operators seeking to remain in compliance with this provision.

If someone believes they have been denied access to or discriminated against within such a service or organization in the Town of Verona, general enforcement paths include filing a complaint with a local or state fair-housing agency or consulting a tenant-rights or fair-housing organization for guidance.
