Fair Housing and Practice Practice Question
Question
An escrow officer requests clarification from the broker involving federal fair housing. Which statement best describes federal fair housing? (Item 16)
Answer choices
- A. It is primarily a tax rule with no effect on brokerage practice.
- B. It removes the need for written disclosure if the licensee believes the client already knows.
- C. It can be ignored if the transaction is expected to close quickly.
- D. Recognize protected classes and prohibited discriminatory practices.
Correct Answer
D. Recognize protected classes and prohibited discriminatory practices.
Explanation
The correct answer is D because federal fair housing requires candidates to recognize protected classes and prohibited discriminatory practices. The other options overstate the effect of custom, oral agreement, escrow, or independent salesperson action and do not reflect safe California exam practice.
