Real Estate Practice

  • Landlord Discrimination: A landlord cannot refuse to accept an applicant based on their appearance, sexual orientation or possible pregnancy, however, other valid discriminations are allowed by law.
  • Guide Dogs and Housing: A landlord cannot refuse to rent to someone with a guide dog, even if the apartment is on the fourth floor.
  • Recording's Effects: Recording provides constructive notice, determines priority, and creates a presumption of delivery. It does not provide actual notice.
  • Subordinate Loan Type: A wraparound loan includes the amounts of other loans.
  • Buyer Disclosure Duty: Both the seller and buyer have a duty to exercise reasonable care in a real estate transaction; the buyer has a duty to inspect. There is no two year statute of limitations on disclosure in real estate.
