Fair Housing and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
A license applicant is comparing two similar real estate concepts in a New York real estate transaction involving federal fair housing. Which response best applies the rule? (Item 337)
Answer choices
- A. Recognize protected classes and prohibited discriminatory conduct in housing transactions.
- B. A licensee may give legal conclusions instead of recommending qualified legal advice when the issue is uncertain.
- C. A verbal understanding always replaces any written requirement in a real estate transaction.
- D. The licensee should avoid documenting the issue to reduce the chance of later questions.
Correct Answer
A. Recognize protected classes and prohibited discriminatory conduct in housing transactions.
Explanation
The correct answer is A because federal fair housing requires candidates to recognize protected classes and prohibited discriminatory conduct in housing transactions. The other options rely on unsafe assumptions about custom, oral agreement, escrow, client preference, or independent salesperson authority and do not reflect sound New York exam practice.
