Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
A property manager asks how a rule affects a rental property for the Washington Real Estate Broker Exam involving blockbusting and Washington broker licensing structure. What should the licensee understand? (Item 196)
Answer choices
- A. The party who complains first automatically receives the remedy requested.
- B. Escrow or closing staff automatically assume all brokerage agency and disclosure duties.
- C. The client’s preference eliminates the need to disclose known material facts.
- D. Identify inducing sales or rentals through protected-class fear tactics in a way that fits Washington exam practice.
Correct Answer
D. Identify inducing sales or rentals through protected-class fear tactics in a way that fits Washington exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is D because blockbusting requires candidates to identify inducing sales or rentals through protected-class fear tactics. The Washington 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.
