Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 114-6 of the Owego Village Code, property owners and managers who work with real estate brokers or listing services are operating in an environment where those service providers are legally required to offer equal access and membership terms regardless of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Compliant operators generally ensure that any brokerage organizations or multiple-listing services they engage with are not applying discriminatory criteria in their dealings. Keeping records of how brokerage and listing services are selected and used can support a pattern of nondiscriminatory practice consistent with ch. 114.
