MLS Rules and Regulations Reminder:
Member Participants and Subscribers must use an approved key, i.e., the Supra Lockboxes in accordance with the terms and conditions specified by the Supra Keyholder Agreement (the “Supra Agreement”) or in addition to
these additional policies. Any violation of a rule contained in this entire Section 2, excluding Section 2 G 3 and 2 G 5, is a Category II violation as described in Section 9.4.3 and carries a fine. Any violation of Section 2 G 3 and 2 G 5 is a Category IV violation as described in Section 9.4.4 and carries a fine.
If your sellers have stated they do not wish to have a lockbox on the property please send us the part of the contract that states such BEFORE the listing is to go live. Going forward, listings found with mechanical lockboxes/contractor boxes and have not sent the above to the NAAR office, will receive a fine starting at $150.00.
Note: Violation fines collected by NAAR are used to fund community support activities. NAAR does not benefit from MLS fines and would like to see the number of fines reduced!
