Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 86 § 86-5 of the New York Mills Code, property owners and managers who participate in multiple listing services or real estate broker organizations are expected to ensure that access to those services is extended equally, regardless of a prospective member's protected characteristics. Compliant operators review their participation agreements and referral practices to confirm that no protected class is excluded or subjected to different terms. Maintaining written nondiscrimination policies for any brokerage-related affiliations is a common practice among operators seeking to align with this provision.

Section 86-5 of the New York Mills Code gives individuals the right to equal access to multiple listing services and real estate brokerage organizations when seeking to rent or purchase a dwelling in the Village. If a person believes they have been denied membership or subjected to unequal terms in such a service on the basis of a protected characteristic, general enforcement paths include filing a complaint with a local or state fair housing agency, contacting a tenant-rights or fair housing organization for guidance, or raising the violation through available legal channels. Documenting any communications or denials related to brokerage service access can be a useful step when exploring these options.
