CViolates the disability accommodation requirements
DIs illegal under CCIOA regardless of the reason

Why Is generally permitted as a business decision not based on a protected class Is Correct

Answer B: Is generally permitted as a business decision not based on a protected class

A condominium association's blanket rental restriction that applies to all owners equally (not targeting any protected class) is generally a legitimate business decision. The Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination based on protected class characteristics, not non-discriminatory business policies.

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.
