Fair Housing
A seller instructs their agent to 'not show the house to families with children.' The agent should:
AFollow the seller's instructions as the seller is the principal
BFollow the instructions only in writing
CRefuse the instruction as it violates fair housing law✓ Correct
DShow the house only during school hours
Explanation
Familial status (families with children under 18) is a protected class under the Fair Housing Act. An agent must refuse discriminatory instructions from a seller. Following such instructions would make both the seller and agent liable for fair housing violations.
