Section 68-7 of the Lenox, N.Y., Code of Ordinances prohibits denying any person access to, membership in, or participation in real estate–related services and organizations—such as multiple-listing services or brokers' organizations—based on race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin. The rule also bars discriminatory terms or conditions placed on that access or membership. It applies to the full range of services connected to selling or renting dwellings within the Town of Lenox.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Lenox Code ch. 68 § 68-7, property owners and managers who work with real estate brokers, multiple-listing services, or similar organizations are expected to ensure that no one is excluded from or subjected to unequal terms in those professional networks on the basis of protected characteristics. Compliant operators typically review their relationships with listing services and broker organizations to confirm that participation policies are applied uniformly. Maintaining records of how access to these services is granted or conditioned can support a showing of consistent, non-discriminatory practice.

Section 68-7 of Lenox's Code of Ordinances gives individuals the right not to be excluded from—or treated unequally within—real estate services and organizations involved in the rental or sale of housing because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin. Someone who believes this provision has been violated may consider documenting the conduct and reaching out to a local or state fair-housing agency, a tenant-rights organization, or a legal aid office for information about available complaint processes.
