Property owners and managers who work with real estate brokers or listing services in the Town of Sullivan should be aware that § 133-13 prohibits any arrangement that restricts a person's access to brokerage organizations or multiple-listing services on the basis of protected characteristics. Compliant operators generally ensure that any brokerage relationships or referral practices they engage in do not condition access on race, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin. Reviewing the terms under which brokerage and listing services are used is a standard part of maintaining compliance with this provision.

Under § 133-13 of Sullivan's Code of Ordinances ch. 133, individuals have the right to equal access to real estate brokerage services, multiple-listing services, and related organizations when seeking to rent or purchase a dwelling, free from discrimination based on race, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin. If a person believes they have been denied access or subjected to unequal terms in violation of this provision, 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 consulting with a legal aid office familiar with housing discrimination matters. Documenting the nature and circumstances of any alleged denial or unequal treatment is generally considered useful when pursuing any of these paths.
