Sandra, a Connecticut salesperson, is working with a buyer client who asks her to show only homes in neighborhoods where 'people like us live.' Sandra suspects this is a request to steer based on race. Under Connecticut law, if Sandra complies with this request, she could face discipline from which of the following bodies?

Correct Answer

D) Both the CHRO for fair housing violations and the CREC for license law violations

In Connecticut, a licensee who engages in racial steering faces dual exposure. The CHRO enforces the Connecticut Fair Housing Act (CGS §§ 46a-64b through 46a-64c) and can investigate and penalize fair housing violations. Simultaneously, the CREC can discipline Sandra under CGS Chapter 392 for conduct that violates fair housing laws, as such conduct constitutes grounds for license suspension or revocation. Both agencies have independent authority to act.

Answer Options
A
The Connecticut Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities (CHRO) only
B
The Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection (DCP) only
C
The Connecticut Real Estate Commission (CREC) only
D
Both the CHRO for fair housing violations and the CREC for license law violations
