Fair Housing

A North Dakota real estate agent who is approached by a homeowner association asking them to enforce deed restrictions that discriminate based on race should:

AComply since deed restrictions are legal
BRefuse; enforcing racially discriminatory deed restrictions violates the Fair Housing Act and the Civil Rights Act✓ Correct
CComply only if the restriction predates 1968
DReport the HOA to the city council

Explanation

Racially restrictive covenants are unenforceable under the Fair Housing Act and the Civil Rights Act of 1866 (42 U.S.C. § 1982). Participating in enforcing them exposes the licensee to liability.
