Sellers should avoid making any statements that indicate a preference for or warning about a protected class, including race.
MassLandlords was recently forwarded an investor prospectus in which demographic information was shared with a prospective purchaser of a rental property. Sellers can’t do this. We’ve included an anonymous screenshot of the prospectus so you can see what we mean.
If this is your company, or reminds you of yours, we suggest you retain the services of a fair housing attorney.
