Fair Housing
A Pennsylvania real estate brokerage refuses to hire agents from a specific religious group. This potentially violates:
AOnly the Fair Housing Act since it involves real estate
BTitle VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (employment discrimination) — not the Fair Housing Act✓ Correct
CRELRA only — as a brokerage employment matter
DNo law — brokers may hire whomever they choose
Explanation
Employment discrimination in hiring based on religion violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (administered by the EEOC) and the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act (employment provisions). The Fair Housing Act applies to housing transactions, not employment. The broker would face Title VII and PHRA liability.
