Limits
- This is a small, illustrative list of phrases. It is not exhaustive, so a clean result does not mean an ad complies with the law.
- It is not legal advice. State and local rules can add protected classes, and context matters; check your ad with a fair housing professional or your broker.
- Matching is plain text matching, so it can miss rephrased wording and cannot judge intent or images.
Frequently asked questions
Does this tool send my listing text anywhere?
No. The checking runs in your browser and the text is not uploaded or stored.
If nothing is flagged, is my ad compliant?
Not necessarily. The tool only looks for a short list of known problem phrases and cannot assess everything an ad communicates.
What is the difference between "avoid" and "review"?
"Avoid" marks wording that states a preference or limit for a type of resident. "Review" marks wording that is not always a problem but often reads as coded or describes residents rather than the property.
