Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
A property manager asks how a rule affects a rental property for the South Carolina Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving blockbusting and South Carolina Real Estate Commission. Which answer best reduces risk? (Item 52)
Answer choices
- A. Escrow or closing staff automatically assume all brokerage agency and disclosure duties.
- B. The client’s preference eliminates the need to disclose known material facts.
- C. The party who complains first automatically receives the remedy requested.
- D. Identify inducing sales or rentals through protected-class fear tactics in a way that fits South Carolina exam practice.
Correct Answer
D. Identify inducing sales or rentals through protected-class fear tactics in a way that fits South Carolina exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is D because blockbusting requires candidates to identify inducing sales or rentals through protected-class fear tactics. The South Carolina 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.
