Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
A supervising broker is reviewing a transaction file for the Indiana Real Estate Broker Exam involving federal fair housing and Indiana Real Estate Commission. Which response best applies the rule? (Item 97)
Answer choices
- A. Recognize protected classes and prohibited discrimination in sale, rental, and financing in a way that fits Indiana exam practice.
- B. The safest practice is to avoid written documentation so fewer questions are raised later.
- C. A licensee may give legal conclusions instead of recommending qualified legal advice when uncertain.
- D. A verbal understanding always replaces a written real estate requirement.
Correct Answer
A. Recognize protected classes and prohibited discrimination in sale, rental, and financing in a way that fits Indiana exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is A because federal fair housing requires candidates to recognize protected classes and prohibited discrimination in sale, rental, and financing. The Indiana reference keeps the scenario tied to state licensing practice, while the other options rely on unsafe assumptions about oral custom, escrow, client preference, independent licensee authority, or ignoring written duties.
