Question

A neighborhood has a large population of recent immigrants from Asian countries. When a couple that had just arrived from South Korea came to a broker to look for a home to buy, he suggested they look at listings only in this neighborhood. The broker violates the Fair Housing Act because his actions constitute:_________.

Answer 1

Answer:

His actions constitute discrimination.

Explanation:

The Fair Housing Act was enacted by Congress to give equal opportunities to everyone looking to rent, lease or buy a home and for landlords, agents, et al not to behave in a different way with tenants or owners based on gender, racial features or nationality.

The broker suggests to the South Korean couple that they should look at listings in the neighborhood with a large population of immigrants from Asian countries.

This is considered discriminatory according to the Fair Housing Act because the broker didn't give the couple a chance to make their choice, instead he tried to put them in a neighborhood largely populated by Asians.

The broker was discriminatory based on their racial features and nationality.
