Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
A salesperson notices a possible compliance problem for the Tennessee Affiliate Broker Exam involving blockbusting and agency and property condition disclosure practice. What should the licensee understand? (Item 36)
Answer choices
- A. Local custom controls even when a statute, regulation, contract, or disclosure rule applies.
- B. The requirement matters only when the buyer obtains institutional financing.
- C. The affiliated licensee may handle the matter independently without broker responsibility.
- D. Identify inducing sales or rentals through protected-class fear tactics in a way that fits Tennessee exam practice.
Correct Answer
D. Identify inducing sales or rentals through protected-class fear tactics in a way that fits Tennessee exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is D because blockbusting requires candidates to identify inducing sales or rentals through protected-class fear tactics. The Tennessee 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.
