(1) As to an advertisement for ‘‘housing for older persons,’’ as defined by the Federal Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C.A. § § 3601—3619) and the act, if the advertiser produces a signed written statement by a housing provider which states that the facility or community complies with the requirements of the housing for older persons exemption and the advertiser has no actual knowledge that the facility or community is not actually eligible for the exemption.
(2) If the word or phrase complained of is in compliance with the list in § 45.181 (relating to words to be avoided) and is not, on its face, discriminatory within the context of the advertisement.
(3) If the advertiser produces a written Commission advisory, obtained by use of the procedure in § 45.192(2) (relating to affirmative defenses), that the language complained of is legal, within the same context in which the advertiser requested the opinion from the Commission.
