Plain English

Jacksonville Chapter 10 Fair Housing § 10-8 prohibits any owner, real estate agent, or other person from publishing or circulating advertisements, statements, or notices related to the sale or lease of real property in a way that violates the chapter's fair housing requirements. Consenting to such a publication is treated the same as making it directly. The rule applies to any medium or format used to communicate an intention to sell or rent property.

For Property Managers

Under § 10-8, property owners and managers are expected to review all listings, advertisements, and notices for language or imagery that could signal unlawful preferences or limitations based on protected characteristics. Compliant operators typically audit their marketing materials across all platforms—print, online, and signage—to ensure nothing in the content would constitute a fair housing violation under Chapter 10. Authorizing a third party, such as a listing service or agent, to publish an ad does not shield an owner from responsibility under this provision.

For Tenants

Section 10-8 of Jacksonville's fair housing ordinance gives individuals a basis to challenge discriminatory advertising related to the sale or rental of real property, including ads that signal preferences or exclusions based on protected characteristics. If a tenant or prospective tenant encounters an advertisement they believe violates Chapter 10, general enforcement paths include filing a complaint with the relevant local or federal fair housing authority or consulting a tenant-rights or fair housing organization for guidance. Documenting the advertisement—such as saving a screenshot or copy—is a commonly recommended first step when pursuing any complaint process.
