Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
A salesperson notices a possible compliance problem for the Pennsylvania Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving federal fair housing and state agreement and disclosure practice. What should the licensee understand? (Item 33)
Answer choices
- A. Recognize protected classes and prohibited discrimination in sale, rental, and financing in a way that fits Pennsylvania exam practice.
- B. Local custom controls even when a statute, regulation, contract, or disclosure rule applies.
- C. The requirement matters only when the buyer obtains institutional financing.
- D. The affiliated licensee may handle the matter independently without broker responsibility.
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.
