What does Chapter 151B require from real estate offices?

  1. To conduct regular audits

  2. To post fair housing practices

  3. To provide discounts for protected classes

  4. To prohibit any advertising

The correct answer is: To post fair housing practices

Chapter 151B of the Massachusetts General Laws specifically addresses the prevention of discrimination in employment and housing. One of the key requirements of this chapter is for real estate offices to promote fair housing practices actively. This involves posting information about fair housing laws and the importance of equity in housing opportunities for all individuals, regardless of race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, national origin, or other protected classes. By mandating that real estate offices display information about fair housing practices, Chapter 151B aims to ensure that potential renters and buyers are aware of their rights and can easily access information regarding non-discriminatory practices. This enhances transparency and encourages a culture of equality within the housing market. The other options do not accurately reflect the requirements set forth by Chapter 151B. While conducting audits, providing discounts, and prohibiting advertising may seem relevant in the context of real estate operations, they are not stipulations established under this particular chapter focused on fair housing enforcement.
