Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
A license applicant is reviewing a practice scenario for the Tennessee Affiliate Broker Exam involving blockbusting and Tennessee Real Estate Commission. Which answer best reduces risk? (Item 52)
Answer choices
- A. The requirement matters only when the buyer obtains institutional financing.
- 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. 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.
