- A Realtor requiring a Latino potential homebuyer to prove he is pre-qualified for a mortgage, but not requiring proof from a white potential homebuyer
- A landlord refusing to rent to someone who does not speak English well
- A landlord requiring a tenant to have sex with him in exchanging for making repairs
- A homeowner telling an African-American couple that her house is no longer for sale, but telling a white couple that the house is still on the market
