Setting different fees for access to or membership in a multiple listing service because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin; 2. Denying or limiting benefits accruing to members in a real estate brokers’ organization because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin; 3. Imposing different standards or criteria for membership in a real estate sales or rental organization because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin; and 4.

E. F.
Under 10 Ariz. Admin. Code § R10-2-101 et seq. § R10-2-111, real estate brokerage organizations and multiple listing services are prohibited from applying different fees, membership standards, benefits, or geographic restrictions based on protected characteristics such as race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin. The rule extends the fair housing protections of A.R.S. § 41-1491.21 into the professional infrastructure of real estate, covering the organizations and services that facilitate buying and renting homes. Any differential treatment rooted in these protected characteristics within brokerage services is considered prohibited conduct.

Property owners and managers who participate in multiple listing services or real estate brokerage organizations should be aware that 10 Ariz. Admin. Code § R10-2-101 et seq. § R10-2-111 prohibits those organizations from imposing discriminatory fees, membership criteria, or geographic restrictions based on protected characteristics. Compliant operators generally ensure that their participation in such organizations does not involve or benefit from discriminatory practices, and they apply uniform standards when engaging with MLS platforms and real estate associations. Reviewing organizational membership agreements for consistency with these requirements is a practice associated with compliance.
