Sandra, a licensed Missouri salesperson, is helping her client sell a home in St. Louis. Her client tells her, 'I only want to sell to buyers who share my religious background.' Sandra should inform her client that refusing to sell based on religion violates which law?

Correct Answer

C) Both the federal Fair Housing Act and the Missouri Human Rights Act

Religion is a protected class under both the federal Fair Housing Act of 1968 and the Missouri Human Rights Act (RSMo Chapter 213). Missouri's law mirrors and in some respects expands upon federal law, so refusing to sell based on religion violates both statutes simultaneously. Sandra must refuse to follow her client's discriminatory instruction.

Answer Options
A
Only the Missouri Human Rights Act, because federal law does not cover religion
B
Only the federal Fair Housing Act, because Missouri law does not address religion
C
Both the federal Fair Housing Act and the Missouri Human Rights Act
D
Only the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act, enforced by the Attorney General
