Questions
Is this Fair Housing checker really free?
Yes. There is no signup and no limit on how many listings you can check in a normal session. We rate-limit by IP address only to stop abuse.
Do you save or use the text I paste?
No. The text is checked on our server and returned to you; it is not stored, and it is not used to train or prompt any AI model. The check is rule-based.
Is this legal advice?
No. It is a rule-based safety net that flags phrases which commonly draw Fair Housing complaints and suggests neutral wording. It cannot catch everything and can flag harmless text. Your broker, your MLS rules and an attorney are the authorities.
What does it look for?
Language about familial status, religion, race and national origin, sex, disability, source of income and age or marital status, plus steering phrases such as safety and school-quality claims, and industry-practice terms like "master bedroom".
Why does it suggest "primary" instead of "master"?
Many MLSs and brokerages now require or recommend "primary bedroom" and "primary suite". It is not a statutory Fair Housing rule, so it is marked low risk.
This tool provides general information, not legal advice. It does not guarantee compliance. Always follow your broker’s policies, your MLS rules, and applicable federal, state and local law.
