Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Sodus Code § 66-5, property owners and managers who work with brokers or listing services are operating in an environment where those intermediaries are legally prohibited from discriminating in access or membership on the basis of protected characteristics. Compliant operators generally ensure that any brokerage or listing service they engage with provides equal access and terms to all parties. Maintaining records of how listings are marketed and through which services can support a pattern of nondiscriminatory practice.
