Our commitment
Rumiby supports equal housing opportunity. The federal Fair Housing Act generally prohibits discrimination in housing because of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, and disability. State and local laws may protect additional characteristics, such as age, marital status, source of income, military status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or other categories.
Every user—including owners, landlords, sellers, buyers, renters, property managers, advertisers, and real estate professionals—is responsible for understanding and following all laws that apply to their activities and location.
What is not allowed
You may not use Rumiby to:
- Refuse to sell, rent, negotiate, show, or otherwise make housing available for an unlawful discriminatory reason.
- Apply different prices, deposits, qualification standards, terms, conditions, privileges, services, or facilities based on a protected characteristic.
- Publish a listing, profile, message, image, or advertisement that states or suggests an unlawful preference, limitation, or exclusion.
- Falsely claim a property is unavailable, discourage someone from a neighborhood, or direct people toward or away from an area based on protected characteristics.
- Harass, threaten, intimidate, retaliate against, or interfere with someone exercising fair housing rights.
- Use search, inquiries, profiles, or other Rumiby data to unlawfully screen, target, exclude, rank, or make housing decisions about people.
- Refuse a legally required reasonable accommodation or modification for a person with a disability.
Phrases such as “adults only,” “no children,” or preferences for a particular race, religion, nationality, sex, or type of person may violate fair housing laws. Describe the property and objective eligibility requirements—not the kind of person you want to live there. Some legally recognized exemptions can be narrow and location-specific; users should obtain qualified legal guidance rather than assume an exemption applies.
Listings, agents, and recommendations
Listing descriptions should focus on verifiable property characteristics, price, accessibility features, amenities, and neutral location information. Agents and other professionals must follow their licensing, ethics, advertising, and fair housing obligations when using Rumiby.
Rumiby does not authorize steering or discriminatory targeting. Any future personalization, advertising, screening, or recommendation feature must be designed and reviewed so it does not unlawfully exclude people or restrict housing opportunities.
How Rumiby may respond
Rumiby may review reported content, request information, remove or limit a listing, revoke verification, restrict communications, suspend an account, preserve relevant records, or cooperate with authorities when appropriate. These actions do not determine whether a law was violated and do not replace government enforcement or private legal remedies.
If you report a concern to Rumiby, include the listing URL, relevant messages, dates, and a concise description. Do not send passwords, Social Security numbers, bank details, or unnecessary sensitive documents. Reports may be sent to fairhousing@rumiby.com.
Official help and complaints
If you believe you experienced housing discrimination, you may contact the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the U.S. Department of Justice, or an appropriate state or local fair housing agency. Government filing deadlines may apply; contacting Rumiby does not pause or extend them.
