Fair Housing
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 standards✓ Correct
CViolating the ADA's reasonable accommodation requirements
DRequired to give preference to protected class members
Explanation
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.
