The publicationInformation, not advice

The Rules Ledger (the website, the Tracker and the email briefing) is an independent publication that summarizes public regulatory information for general information purposes. It is not legal or brokerage advice, is not a compliance service, and does not create an adviser relationship with any reader. It is not affiliated with NAR, any MLS, any state association or any regulator.

AccuracyDated summaries of primary sources

Rules are summarized from the primary sources cited, as of the last-checked dates shown. Rules change, and summaries can contain errors. The binding text is always the cited source. Before acting — signing a buyer agreement, opening a form version, advising a client — verify the current rule in the primary source and, where the decision is material, with your broker. To the extent permitted by law, we accept no liability for decisions taken on the basis of this publication.

CorrectionsAppend-only, in the open

When we get something wrong, the correction is added to the Tracker's change log as a new dated entry and the affected entry is amended with a dated revision note. Report an error to [email protected].

Sponsors & partnersLabeled, and fenced off

The publication carries sponsorships and partner (affiliate) offers, which are labeled as paid. Sponsorship does not influence Tracker content, and no sponsor may delay, soften or remove a rule change or a correction.
