What law controls the advertising of real estate loans?

  1. Regulation Z

  2. The Fair Housing Act

  3. The Truth in Lending Act

  4. The Equal Credit Opportunity Act

The correct answer is: Regulation Z

Regulation Z, also known as the Truth in Lending Act (TILA), is a federal law that regulates the advertising and disclosure of credit terms, including for real estate loans. The Fair Housing Act and the Equal Credit Opportunity Act are laws that prohibit discrimination in lending, but they do not specifically address advertising. While the Truth in Lending Act is another name for Regulation Z, it is not the specific law that controls the advertising for real estate loans. Therefore, options B, C, and D are all incorrect.
