Which of the following advertising statements is ILLEGAL under the Fair Housing Act?

A'Quiet neighborhood, great schools'
B'No Section 8 accepted'Correct
C'2-bedroom, 1-bath, near shopping'
D'Perfect for professionals'

Why 'No Section 8 accepted' Is Correct

Answer B: 'No Section 8 accepted'

Advertising 'No Section 8 accepted' may be considered discriminatory because Section 8 voucher recipients are disproportionately members of protected classes. While Section 8 participation is not a federally protected class, HUD and many states view such language as indicative of discriminatory intent.

Exam Tip: Fair Housing

Fair Housing questions test both federal (Fair Housing Act of 1968) and state-level protected classes. The federal protected classes are race, color, religion, national origin, sex, familial status, and disability. Many states add additional protections.
