Regarding the Required Fields:

The required fields mentioned above (Deposit Type, Foundation, Occupant Type) for the mentioned property category types only apply for new listings in FMLS going forward, HOWEVER, these fields will still be required for all listings within BLI, as this is a result of the way these new rules can be implemented into BLI. This will apply for any previous listings that were inputted into BLI, so to fix this, you would need to input the required fields when going back into those listings, then you can republish like normal.

 

We do apologize for any inconvenience with this, but appreciate your understanding with this.
