The National Association of Realtors (NAR) established its Code of Ethics in 1913 with the purpose of guaranteeing that a customer who is in the process of buying or selling a home will be treated properly by the Realtor who is conducting the transaction.
REALTORS® that are dedicated to adhering to the NAR Code of Ethics promise to defend and advance the interests of their clients whether acting as an agent for a buyer, seller, landlord, tenant, or other client. Although serving the client’s needs comes first, REALTORS® nevertheless have a duty to treat everyone fairly. REALTORS® are still required to act honestly while assisting a buyer, seller, landlord, tenant, or other party in a non-agency role.
This course has been created to assist you with maintaining awareness and knowledge of the ethical behavior, responsibility and requirements real estate professionals must possess and demonstrate in order to conduct business in a fair and honest manner.

In September 2020, the Trump administration announced a halt on eviction proceedings targeting residential renters. This was in response to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) concern that homelessness from eviction could further spread of SARS-CoV-2, better known as COVID-19.
In the time since the moratorium went into effect, two questions arise. First, whether the moratorium actually served its purpose when it came to helping renters. And second, how this halt on evictions for non-payment impacted multifamily owners and operators.
The answers? “Kind of,” and “it’s a mixed bag.”
