Redlining is the discriminatory practice of denying loans or other financial services to otherwise creditworthy applicants based on the location of the property, often in minority or economically disadvantaged neighborhoods. This is illegal under the Fair Housing Act and Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA), as it constitutes a form of racial or ethnic discrimination in housing and lending.
Steering (A) involves directing borrowers toward certain loan products for the lender’s benefit, while low balling (D) and appraising (C) are unrelated to this form of discrimination.
