552	 California Real Estate Principles

                   Section 10177(e) Misuse of Trade Name
                     Only active members of the National Association of REALTORS® may use
                     the term REALTOR®. It is unlawful and unethical to misuse the terms
                     REALTOR® and/or Realtist or any trade name or insignia of which the licensee
                     is not a member.

                   Section 10177(f) Conduct Warranting Denial of License
                     Licensee conducted himself or herself in a manner that would have warranted
                     the denial of his or her application for a real estate license. This is a general
                     section of the Real Estate Law. Almost any act involving a crime or dishonesty
                     will fall within this section including the denial or suspension of a license issued
                     by another government agency.

                   Section 10177(g) Negligence or Incompetence
                     Licensee demonstrated negligence or incompetence while performing activities
                     for which a real estate licensee is required.

                   Section 10177(h) Failure to Supervise Salespersons
                     A broker is subject to disciplinary action if the broker, or the officer designated
                     by a corporate broker licensee, fails to exercise reasonable supervision and
                     control over the activities of the broker’s salespeople.

                   Section 10177(i) Misuse of Government Employment
                     Licensee misused government employment to gain access to records in a
                     manner that violates the confidential nature of records.

                   Section 10177(j) Dishonest Dealing
                     Licensee engaged in conduct which constitutes fraud or dishonest dealing.

                   Section 10177(k) Restricted License Violation
                     Licensee violated any of the terms, conditions, restrictions, and limitations
                     contained in any order granting a restricted license.

                   Section 10177(l) Inducement of Panic Selling
                     Licensee solicited or induced the sale, lease, or the listing for sale or lease
                     of residential property on the grounds of loss of value, increase in crime, or
                     decline in the quality of schools due to the present or prospective entry into the
                     neighborhood of people of another race, color, religion, ancestry, or national
                     origin. This is also called blockbusting or panic peddling.
