We service a client, which is a bank. I need to know if their mortgage loan materials must have the equal opportunity logo present if the slogan exists or even if the slogan is absent. Must the slogan and/or logo be used on all printed materials pertaining to mortgage lending?

The Fair Housing Logo should always be posted within documentation for housing weather it is rental property or home ownership. However, it does not have to have the slogan "Equal Housing Opportunity" if it is mentioned somewhare else within the body of the document. Many people or companies have opted to use the slogan along with the house, but depending on the layout of a document it can be difficult.
