Maria is an associate broker in Santa Fe. A seller client tells her, 'I don't want you to show my home to anyone who is transgender.' Which New Mexico law makes it illegal for Maria to comply with this instruction?

Correct Answer

C) New Mexico Human Rights Act

The New Mexico Human Rights Act (NMSA 1978, Chapter 28, Article 1) explicitly includes gender identity as a protected class in housing transactions. Refusing to show a home to a transgender person constitutes illegal discrimination under New Mexico state law. Maria must refuse the seller's instruction and explain that compliance would violate the law.
