Under The Federal Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C. 3604) and the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act (PHRA), it is illegal to discriminate against renters or buyers based on family status, which includes children. However, age-restricted housing is allowed under certain conditions.

Housing communities designated as '55 and older' or '62 and older' are legally permitted under the Housing for Older Persons Act (HOPA), provided they meet federal guidelines.

Option C (Creek Village - an Age-Restricted Community) is lawful because it indicates compliance with HOPA, meaning at least 80% of residents are over 55.

Why the other answers are incorrect:

Option A (Children 12 and Older Only): Discriminating against families with young children violates the Fair Housing Act (FHA).

Option B (Adults Only Building): Landlords cannot prohibit families with children from renting.

Option D (All Couples Apartment Building): This discriminates against single renters and violates fair housing laws.

Pennsylvania Human Relations Act (PHRA)

Under 49 Pa. Code 35.331 (Written Agreements Generally), all parties must receive a copy of a signed offer within 1 business day of acceptance.

This ensures that buyers and sellers have full documentation of the transaction.

Delaying delivery of signed contracts can lead to disputes and potential violations of real estate regulations.

Why the other answers are incorrect:

Option A (24 Hours): While fast delivery is preferred, the law specifically states ''1 business day.''

Option C (At Closing): Buyers must receive a copy well before closing.

Option D (Reasonably Practicable Time): This is too vague and does not meet the specific 1-business-day requirement.

Both the Pennsylvania Real Estate Commission (PREC) and the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission (PHRC) have authority to investigate illegal discrimination in real estate transactions.

The Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission (PHRC) is responsible for enforcing the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act (PHRA), which prohibits discrimination in housing based on race, color, religion, ancestry, age, sex, national origin, disability, and familial status.

The Pennsylvania Real Estate Commission (PREC) investigates complaints against licensed real estate professionals who violate fair housing laws, including violations of the Real Estate Licensing and Registration Act (RELRA).

Why the other answers are incorrect:

Option A (Pennsylvania State Legislature and PREC): The Legislature makes laws but does not enforce them or conduct investigations.

Option B (PREC and Better Business Bureau): The Better Business Bureau (BBB) is a private organization and does not have legal enforcement authority.

Option C (PHRC and Legislature): The Legislature does not investigate complaints, but the PHRC does.

Under 49 Pa. Code 35.201 (Definitions), property management activities that include leasing, collecting rent, and negotiating lease terms require a real estate license unless the individual is directly employed by the property owner.

If a property manager is conducting leasing or rental activities for multiple property owners, they must be licensed and supervised by a broker.

The law ensures that individuals managing properties for others operate under proper ethical and legal guidelines.

Why the other answers are incorrect:

Option A (Certification for Property Management): No separate property management certification is required under Pennsylvania law.

Option B (Separate Exam for Property Management): A separate exam for property management is not required.

Option C (Ongoing Property Management Courses): Continuing education is required for license renewal, but specific property management courses are not mandatory.

Under 63 P.S. 455.304 (Exemptions from Licensing Requirements), most individuals selling their own property are exempt from real estate licensing requirements. However, a real estate licensee selling their own real estate must comply with disclosure laws and ethical obligations.

If a real estate licensee sells their own property, they must disclose in all advertising that they are a licensed real estate professional to avoid misleading the public.

While a non-licensee selling their own property is not covered under real estate licensing laws, a licensed salesperson must adhere to licensing and disclosure laws.

Why the other answers are incorrect:

Option A (Trustee under Court Order): Court-appointed trustees are exempt from real estate licensing requirements.

Option B (Attorney Representing Clients): Attorneys are permitted to handle real estate transactions as part of their legal practice without a real estate license.

Option D (Licensed Auctioneer): Auctioneers selling real estate are regulated under separate auctioneer licensing laws, not real estate licensing laws.
