Answer choices
- A. It requires the licensee to favor the other party over the licensee’s own client.
- B. Avoid discriminatory tenant screening, advertising, or occupancy practices.
- C. It is primarily a tax rule with no effect on brokerage practice.
- D. It removes the need for written disclosure if the licensee believes the client already knows.
Correct Answer
B. Avoid discriminatory tenant screening, advertising, or occupancy practices.
Explanation
The correct answer is B because fair housing in leasing requires candidates to avoid discriminatory tenant screening, advertising, or occupancy practices. The other options overstate the effect of custom, oral agreement, escrow, or independent salesperson action and do not reflect safe California exam practice.
