A50%
B55%
C80%Correct
D100%

Why 80% Is Correct

Answer C: 80%

To qualify for the 55+ exemption from the familial status provisions of the Fair Housing Act, a housing community must have at least 80% of its occupied units occupied by at least one person who is 55 or older, publish and follow policies demonstrating intent to provide 55+ housing, and maintain age verification procedures. Familial status, added by the 1988 Fair Housing Amendments Act, protects families with children under 18, pregnant women, and anyone securing legal custody of a minor.

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.
