Fair HousingIntermediateColorado Exam

A Colorado employer who provides housing as part of employment can restrict occupancy to:

ANo restrictions — employer housing is subject to all Fair Housing provisions, under standard practice
BEmployees only, provided the restriction is based on employment status rather than a protected classCorrect
CSingle men or women only
DAny group the employer chooses

Why Employees only, provided the restriction is based on employment status rather than a protected class Is Correct

Answer B: Employees only, provided the restriction is based on employment status rather than a protected class

Employer-provided housing that is limited to employees is a permitted restriction based on employment status, not on any protected class characteristic. This falls under an exemption for single-sex dormitories and similar arrangements where sex is relevant to the nature of the housing.

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.
