Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
A closing coordinator flags an issue before settlement for the Pennsylvania Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving federal fair housing and consumer notice concepts. Which statement is most accurate for exam purposes? (Item 65)
Answer choices
- A. Recognize protected classes and prohibited discrimination in sale, rental, and financing in a way that fits Pennsylvania exam practice.
- B. The affiliated licensee may handle the matter independently without broker responsibility.
- C. Local custom controls even when a statute, regulation, contract, or disclosure rule applies.
- D. The requirement matters only when the buyer obtains institutional financing.
Correct Answer
A. Recognize protected classes and prohibited discrimination in sale, rental, and financing in a way that fits Pennsylvania 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 Pennsylvania 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.
