Fair Housing Policy

Our Commitment

RealtyNet LLC, doing business as ByOwnerOregon.com, fully supports the principles of the Fair Housing Act, the Oregon Fair Housing Law (ORS 659A.421), and all applicable local fair housing ordinances.

We are committed to ensuring that all individuals have equal access to our real estate services regardless of their membership in any protected class. This commitment extends to every aspect of our business including advertising, marketing, listing services, client communications, and customer service.

Federal Fair Housing Act

The Federal Fair Housing Act (Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, as amended) prohibits discrimination in the sale, rental, or financing of housing based on:

• Race
• Color
• National origin
• Religion
• Sex (including sexual orientation and gender identity)
• Familial status (families with children under 18)
• Disability (physical or mental)

Oregon Fair Housing Law

In addition to federal protections, Oregon law (ORS 659A.421) provides additional protections prohibiting housing discrimination based on:

• Marital status
• Source of income (including Section 8 vouchers and housing assistance)
• Sexual orientation
• Gender identity
• Domestic violence survivor status

Oregon law applies to nearly all housing with limited exemptions. As a licensed Oregon brokerage, RealtyNet LLC adheres to the full scope of Oregon's fair housing protections in all our services and operations.

Listing Content Standards

All property listings submitted through ByOwnerOregon.com must comply with fair housing advertising guidelines. This means listing descriptions, photos, and marketing materials must not:

• Express a preference, limitation, or discrimination based on any protected class
• Use language that could discourage or exclude protected groups from inquiring about a property
• Include discriminatory screening criteria for potential buyers
• Misrepresent the availability of a property to members of any protected class

We reserve the right to modify or remove any listing content that does not comply with fair housing requirements.

Reasonable Accommodations

We are committed to making reasonable accommodations and modifications for individuals with disabilities. If you need assistance accessing our services, website, or property listing tools, please contact us and we will work with you to find an appropriate solution.
