Free fair housing listing checker
Paste MLS remarks, a social post or an AI-written description. Phrases that describe people instead of the property are highlighted, with the rule each one comes from and a safer way to say it. Switch to Ontario to check against the Human Rights Code and RECO's AI guidance. It runs in your browser, works offline once loaded and never sends your text anywhere. It's a first-pass word check, not legal advice.

FAQ
Is this fair housing checker legal advice?
No. It's a free first-pass word check that points to the rule behind each flag. Context matters, photos and ad targeting aren't checked, and state, provincial and local laws add protected classes. Ask your broker or a lawyer when you're unsure.
Does my listing text get sent anywhere?
No. The check runs entirely in your browser with no AI call and no server, so it works offline once the page has loaded. Your text only leaves the page if you press an Open in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Perplexity button.
Which rules does it use?
For the US: the HUD advertising rule at 24 CFR 100.75, the Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C. 3604 and the 3607(b) housing-for-older-persons exemption) and the NAR Code of Ethics. For Ontario: the Ontario Human Rights Code grounds and RECO's guidance on AI and advertising, including brokerage identification and labelling altered photos.
Why is “family room” or “walk-in closet” not flagged?
Because those describe the property, not who should live there. The checker skips common room and feature names on purpose so you only see phrases worth a second look.
What about AI-written listings and virtually staged photos?
Run AI drafts through the checker before you publish. If you mention virtual staging or edited photos, it reminds you of California's disclosure law (B&P §10140.8, from AB 723) for US listings, or RECO's labelling guidance for Ontario.
