Fair Housing

A Colorado property manager who segregates tenants by race — placing minority tenants only in certain buildings within a complex — is engaging in:

AA. Efficient building management
BB. Direct racial discrimination and segregation, violating the Fair Housing Act and the Civil Rights Act of 1866✓ Correct
CC. A permissible practice if all units are equal quality
DD. A practice only prohibited in federally subsidized housing

Explanation

Racial segregation in housing — regardless of the quality of the segregated units — is a direct and severe violation of the Fair Housing Act and the Civil Rights Act of 1866 (which broadly prohibits racial discrimination in property rights). Such practices are among the most clear-cut FHA violations and can result in substantial penalties.
