The association’s founding documents are available for public reading in the documentation area.

26/09/2026 1 min read

APMLS has published the Code of Ethics and the Technical Standards that govern the activity of member companies. Both can be read in the Documentation area, without registering.

What they set out

The Code of Ethics sets out members’ duties towards clients, consumers and other professionals. The Technical Standards set the operating rules for listing sharing in the MLS: who does what, who is paid what, and what happens when there is disagreement.

In force

The MLS Regulation, approved by the General Assembly, has been in force since 15 May 2026 and applies to every listing shared in the MLS. Breaches are assessed by the Ethics Committee under the Disciplinary Regulation.

Reporting a practice

Anyone can report a practice contrary to the Code through the Open a case page. The content goes only to the Ethics Committee.
