Familial status protects families with children under 18. Refusing to rent to such families or charging them higher deposits in a non-age-restricted community are both violations of the Fair Housing Act.

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.
