When is it required to include the Equal Housing Opportunity logo in advertising?

• A. In all rental listings.
• B. Only in government housing ads.
• C. Only in online ads.
• D. Where applicable.

Answer: (D)

You include the Equal Housing Opportunity logo whenever the housing being advertised falls under the Fair Housing Act. It signals that the property is available on a non-discriminatory basis. That’s why the best answer is “where applicable”—the logo is required for ads that concern FHA-covered housing, but not for ads that aren’t subject to the act (or when an exemption applies). The logo (or the words “Equal Housing Opportunity”) should appear across ads in print and online to show compliance, unless the specific situation is exempt.
