A licensee shows a minority family affordable apartment in a racially mixed neighborhood. The family then inquiries about other areas of the city. The licensee knowingly refrains from mentioning or showing the family other affordable apartment units in other parts of the city. Has the licensee acted legally?

Redlining refers to the practice of denying services, typically financial, to residents of certain areas based on their race or ethnicity. While this is a discriminatory practice, it does not accurately describe the actions of the licensee in this case, who actively showed the minority family an apartment in a racially mixed neighborhood instead of denying them service altogether.

Fair housing refers to the legal principle that prohibits discrimination in housing based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. The licensee's action of not disclosing other available options to the minority family constitutes a violation of fair housing laws, thus it cannot be categorized as practicing fair housing.

Blockbusting involves inducing homeowners to sell their properties at lower prices by suggesting that minority groups are moving into the neighborhood, thereby creating racial turnover. In this case, the licensee is not inducing sales or manipulation of neighborhood demographics, but rather is failing to provide equal housing opportunities, making this choice inaccurate.
