Which action would be allowed according to the Federal Fair Housing law?
Under the Federal Fair Housing Act (Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, as amended):
A = Blockbusting (illegal).
B = Steering based on ethnicity (illegal).

Rents on a duplex total $600 monthly and are due the first of each month. If the sale of the duplex closes on the 15th of a month, the rental income will be reflected on the closing statement as a
In closing statements and prorations (Finance/Closing section of the NJ Real Estate Salesperson Pre-Licensure Study Guide), prepaid rents must be adjusted as of the closing date. Rent for the entire month ($600) was paid in advance to the seller on the 1st.

Indemnification clauses shift liability to another party.
A default delivery clause is not a standard real estate term.
Thus, the correct clause is B: liquidated damages clause.
