Maria is a licensed real estate salesperson in Newark. A seller instructs her to avoid showing the property to same-sex couples. If Maria follows this instruction, which New Jersey law would she most likely be violating?

Correct Answer

C) The NJ Law Against Discrimination

The New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (N.J.S.A. 10:5-1 et seq.) explicitly protects sexual orientation and gender identity and expression as protected classes in housing. Refusing to show a property to same-sex couples constitutes discrimination based on sexual orientation, which is a direct violation of the NJ LAD. New Jersey's LAD is broader than federal law in this respect.

Answer Options
A
The federal Fair Housing Act of 1968
B
The NJ Residential Property Condition Disclosure Act
C
The NJ Law Against Discrimination
D
The NJ Consumer Fraud Act
