Fair Housing
A Connecticut housing advertisement states 'perfect for retirees, no children allowed.' This advertisement violates fair housing laws because it discriminates based on:
AAge and familial status✓ Correct
BNational origin and race
CSex and religion
DSource of income and marital status
Explanation
'No children allowed' discriminates based on familial status (federal FHA). 'Perfect for retirees' implies age targeting, which violates Connecticut state law's protection of age as a protected class. Both violations apply.
