WHEN SHOULD REALTORS® USE THE EQUAL HOUSING OPPORTUNITY LOGO? |
|
The Fair Housing Act itself does not require the use of Equal Housing Opportunity logo or slogan, “Equal Housing Opportunity,” in any ad. However, using the logo regularly is good evidence of a company’s commitment to fair housing compliance.
The equal housing opportunity logo (shown in this box) features the silhouette of a house with the equals sign in the center and the words “Equal Housing Opportunity” beneath it. Modified versions of the logo are not acceptable. For instance, the house cannot be used without the words “equal housing opportunity” beneath it. However, the words can be used on their own without the house.
According to HUD guidelines, all advertising of residential real estate for sale or rent should contain an equal housing opportunity logotype, statement, or slogan as a means of educating the home-seeking public that the property is available to all persons, regardless of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, and familial status. In Wisconsin, the protected classes include marital status; ancestry; source of income; sexual orientation; age; status as a victim of domestic abuse, sexual abuse or stalking.
