If HUD determines a violation of fair housing law has occurred, what can the offender be required to pay?

  1. Monetary compensation to the victim

  2. Legal fees

  3. A civil penalty

  4. A donation to a housing charity

The correct answer is: A civil penalty

When the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) determines that a violation of fair housing law has occurred, one of the actions they can take is to require the offender to pay a civil penalty. This monetary sanction serves as a form of punishment for the violation and aims to deter future discriminatory practices. The civil penalties can vary based on the severity of the violation and the offender's history of previous violations. While offenders may also face other financial responsibilities, such as compensating victims or covering legal fees, the specific requirement for a civil penalty is distinct and highlights the government's commitment to enforcing fair housing laws and maintaining equitable access to housing for all individuals.
