5. Advertising shall not state that items or services are free when the cost thereof is included in the monthly maintenance fee.

7. Advertising shall not refer in wording, photograph, sketch or artist's conception to any recreational, medical, social, shopping or other facility that is not located within the continuing care retirement community unless so stated and the approximate distance therefrom in miles is set forth;

8. Advertising shall not refer to a price increase unless the amount and date of the increase are indicated;
