Fair Housing
A Colorado property manager who advertises 'quiet adult community' in their rental listing is:
AA. Making a legal description of the property's character
BB. Potentially violating the FHA by indicating a preference against families with children (familial status discrimination)✓ Correct
CC. Allowed, since the term 'adult' is common in marketing
DD. Making a protected first amendment statement
Explanation
Phrases like 'adult community,' 'adults only,' or 'perfect for couples' can signal a preference against families with children, which is familial status discrimination under the FHA. Unless the property qualifies as a legitimate senior housing exemption under HOPA, advertising that suggests a preference against families is a fair housing violation.
