MAKES SENSE: New York will Require Real Estate Brokers to Inform Clients of their Fair Housing Rights
After a three-year investigation into alleged unequal treatment toward minority homebuyers in Long Island, New York, NY state has announced proposed regulations to combat housing discrimination that would impose certain mandates on brokers, sales people and agents in the real estate industry. The regulations will require real estate brokers to inform prospective home buyers, renters, sellers, and landlords information about the federal Fair Housing Act and the New York State Human Rights Law. The proposed regulations will require real estate brokers to display a notice containing the Human Rights Law protections, with information on how consumers can file complaints. https://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/new-york-bill-would-require-real-estate-27670/
