  1. A prospect asks if a specific apartment complex is 'good for families like us' while pointing to a photo of their children. The leasing agent should:

    Answer: Explain the building's actual features and amenities without making assumptions about their family's suitability

    Leasing agents must provide factual information about the property without steering based on familial status or making assumptions about where a family should live.

  2. Under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA), which is relevant in rental housing, a landlord may NOT consider which factor when evaluating a rental application?

    Answer: Marital status

    ECOA prohibits discrimination based on marital status, sex, race, color, religion, national origin, age, or receipt of public assistance in credit-related transactions.

  3. A leasing professional receives a maintenance request involving an accessibility modification from a disabled tenant. The best first step is to:

    Answer: Evaluate whether the request is reasonable and engage in an interactive process with the resident

    The FHA requires an interactive process when evaluating accommodation or modification requests, including determining reasonableness and exploring alternatives.

  4. Sexual harassment by a property manager toward a tenant is addressed under which FHA protected class?

    Answer: Sex

    HUD's 2016 rule clarified that sexual harassment in housing constitutes sex discrimination under the FHA.

  5. A property has a strict 'two-person per bedroom' occupancy policy. Under HUD's Keating Memo, this policy may violate the FHA if it:

    Answer: Is used as a pretext to exclude families with children

    The Keating Memo states that occupancy standards are not per se violations but may violate the FHA if used to discriminate against families with children.

  6. Under the Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (URLTA), which action by a landlord would constitute illegal retaliation?

    Answer: Evicting a tenant who complained to a housing code inspector the previous week

    Retaliatory eviction following a tenant's exercise of legal rights (such as filing a housing code complaint) is prohibited under URLTA and most state landlord-tenant laws.

  7. The Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act requires landlords to provide habitable housing. Which of the following would most clearly violate the implied warranty of habitability?

    Answer: A unit with no working heat during winter months

    Failure to provide adequate heat during winter months is a classic violation of the implied warranty of habitability, making the unit legally uninhabitable.
