Fair Housing
A Florida apartment complex advertises '2-bedroom apartments, perfect for couples and young professionals.' This advertising language:
AIs clearly discriminatory on its face and violates the Fair Housing Act
BMay indicate an intent to discriminate against families with children based on familial status✓ Correct
CIs acceptable because it doesn't explicitly mention any protected class
DViolates the Act only if the complex refuses to rent to families
Explanation
The phrase 'perfect for couples and young professionals' may signal a preference for non-families and potentially violates familial status protections. Advertising that suggests a preference, limitation, or discrimination based on a protected class is prohibited by the Fair Housing Act, even if no protected class is explicitly named. The intent and effect of the advertising are analyzed.
