Fair HousingIntermediateAlaska Exam

Under the Fair Housing Act, a landlord who requires all applicants to provide the same information and uses consistent screening criteria is:

ADiscriminating against protected classes
BComplying with fair housing law through consistent application of standardsCorrect
CViolating the ADA's reasonable accommodation requirements, as a general rule
DRequired to give preference to protected class members

Why Complying with fair housing law through consistent application of standards Is Correct

Answer B: Complying with fair housing law through consistent application of standards

Using consistent, objective screening criteria (credit score, income, rental history) applied equally to all applicants is the correct approach to fair housing compliance. Applying different standards to different protected class members is the violation — not applying uniform standards.

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.
