General Principles With Respect to Deposits:• Whether a buyer’s deposit is forfeited is a matter of
contractual intent.• A true deposit is intended to motivate the parties to carry
through on their bargains and generally forfeited by the buyer when the buyer defaults.
• A deposit is an exception to the general rule that a contractual amount subject to forfeiture is an unlawful penalty.
• A deposit forfeited “on account of damages” does not mean the deposit is lost only if damages are shown.

“TREC may suspend or revoke a license . . . or take disciplinary action. . . if a license holder engages in misrepresentation dishonesty, or fraud when selling real property in the name of a person related to the license holder.” – Tex. Occ. Code Ann. § 1101.652(a)(3)
FAIR HOUSINGKeller v. City of Fremont
Citation: 719 F.3d 931Court: U.S. Court of Appeals, 8th Circuit
– Page 23 –Fremont, Nebraska
FAIR HOUSINGKeller v. City of Fremont
Ordinance 5165:• “It is unlawful for any person or business entity to rent to, or permit occupancy by, an illegal alien, knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that an alien has come to, entered, or remains in the United States in violation of law.”• “An ‘illegal alien’ is an alien who is not lawfully present in
the United States, according to [federal law.]”
– Page 23 –
FAIR HOUSINGKeller v. City of Fremont
Fremont Rental Process:1. Prospective renter obtains occupancy license
– provide $5 fee and citizenship information and immigration status– minors and temp. residents exempt
2. City issues occupancy license3. Renter may begin tenancy and
landlord must keep copy ofrenter’s occupancy license
4. Police ask federal government toverify immigration status.
5. If renter is unlawfully present, renter must establish lawful presence or occupancy license is revoked.
– Page 23 –
FAIR HOUSINGKeller v. City of Fremont
“We find no hint in the FHA’s history and purpose that such a law or ordinance, . . . violates the FHA if local statistics can be gathered to show that a disproportionate number of the adversely affected aliens are members of a particular ethnic group. In most cases today, that would of course be Latinos, but at various times in our history, and in various locales, the “disparate impact” might have been on immigrants from Ireland, Germany, Scandinavia, Italy, China, or other parts of the world. It would be illogical to impose FHA disparate impact liability based on the effect an otherwise lawful ordinance may have on a sub-groupof the unprotected class of aliens notlawfully present in this country.”

Dungreen AvenueMemphis, TN

HEARINGSBobo v. State Real Estate Comm’n
Bobo’s Contention:• Decision
improperly based on complainant Smith’s hearsay statements.
Court of Appeals:• Hearsay may be substantial
evidence if corroborated by other competent evidence.
• Bobo’s admissions corroborated Smith’s hearsay statements.
– Page 30 –
HEARINGSBobo v. State Real Estate Comm’n
Bobo’s Contention:• Lack of
opportunity to confront complainant Smith was denial of due process.
Court of Appeals:• Bobo had notice of the
hearing and notice that Smith did not intend to testify, yet did not continue hearing or procure Smith’s testimony.

HEARINGSBobo v. State Real Estate Comm’n
Bobo’s Contention:• Commission
biased by its prior consideration of rejected consent order
Court of Appeals:• Bobo failed to object.• Commission was required to
serve in multiple, overlapping roles. Dual functions are inherent in administrative agencies and this structure does not, without other evidence, demonstrate bias.
• No evidence any Commissioner was prejudiced by knowledge of rejected consent order.
