Fair Housing

Under the Fair Housing Act, which of the following is generally a permissible occupancy standard for housing in Arizona?

A1 person per bedroom as a strict rule
BNo more than 2 persons per bedroom in any unit
CReasonable occupancy standards applied uniformly (often 2 persons per bedroom as a general guideline) that do not discriminate based on familial status✓ Correct
DProhibiting any children from sharing a room

Explanation

HUD guidance (Keating Memorandum) provides that 2 persons per bedroom is generally reasonable, but a blanket rule must consider unit size, configuration, local codes, and the age of the children. Overly strict occupancy standards can discriminate based on familial status.
