Answer B: Violating fair housing law by failing to provide a reasonable accommodation for a disabled person

Service animals are not 'pets' under fair housing law. Refusing to allow a service animal (or an emotional support animal with proper documentation) is a failure to provide a reasonable accommodation for a person with a disability.

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.
