A real estate broker in Eden Prairie advertises a listing with the phrase 'ideal for Christian families' in the property description. Which Minnesota law is most directly implicated by this advertisement?

Correct Answer

B) Minn. Stat. Ch. 363A, prohibiting discriminatory advertising in real estate transactions

The Minnesota Human Rights Act (Minn. Stat. Ch. 363A) prohibits discriminatory advertising in real estate transactions. Using phrases like 'ideal for Christian families' indicates a preference based on religion (creed) and familial status, both of which are protected classes under Minnesota law. Such language in a property advertisement is an unlawful discriminatory practice regardless of whether the seller or broker intended to exclude anyone.

Answer Options
A
Minn. Stat. Ch. 580, governing foreclosure advertising requirements
B
Minn. Stat. Ch. 363A, prohibiting discriminatory advertising in real estate transactions
C
Minn. Stat. Ch. 82, governing the use of approved conveyancing forms in property listings
D
Minn. Stat. § 513.52, requiring disclosure of material defects in residential property
