Question & Answer

Review the question and all answer choices

A

Eliminating all closing costs

A is incorrect because the law doesn't eliminate all closing costs, which are legitimate expenses in real estate transactions. It only limits excessive or predatory fees that could take advantage of borrowers.

B

Limiting fees, prepayment penalties, and requiring disclosures

Correct Answer
C

Guaranteeing low interest rates

C is incorrect because the law doesn't guarantee low interest rates, which are determined by market conditions and borrower qualifications. It only prohibits excessively high rates that constitute predatory lending.

D

Providing free legal services

D is incorrect because while the law provides borrower protections, it doesn't provide free legal services. Borrowers must still seek their own legal counsel when needed.

Why is this correct?

B is correct because New Jersey's Anti-Predatory Lending Act specifically targets harmful lending practices by limiting excessive fees, restricting prepayment penalties, and requiring disclosures that help borrowers understand loan terms before committing.
