Fair Housing
A Colorado landlord with four rental units refuses to rent to families with children. This is:
AA. Legal, as small landlords are exempt from fair housing laws
BB. Illegal under the federal Fair Housing Act's prohibition on familial status discrimination, unless an exemption applies✓ Correct
CC. Legal if the units have no yard
DD. Legal if the landlord has owned the property for less than one year
Explanation
The federal Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination based on familial status (families with children under 18). The exemption for owner-occupied buildings applies only to buildings with four or fewer units where the owner lives in one of the units. A non-resident landlord with 4 units does not qualify for this exemption.
