Fair Housing
A Connecticut real estate agent meets with a buyer couple and assumes the wife will not be a decision-maker based on cultural stereotypes. The agent mainly talks to the husband about financial details. This behavior may violate fair housing laws because it potentially discriminates based on:
ARace
BSex and national origin✓ Correct
CFamilial status
DSource of income
Explanation
Treating a buyer differently based on sex (treating the wife as less important in financial decisions) and potentially national origin (cultural stereotyping) violates the Fair Housing Act. All clients must be treated equally regardless of sex or national origin.
