BROKERS MUST DISPLAY HUD POSTER
Regulations recently issued by the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development require that real estate brokers display a "Fair Housing" poster in their offices. The regulations, which were printed in the February 16th Federal Register, provide that failure to display the poster will constitute prima facie evidence of discrimination in housing.
The posters, a copy of which is reproduced below, may be obtained from HUD, 2309 W. Cove Blvd., N.W. Plaza, Greensboro, N. C. 27408
