Fair Housing
A Georgia landlord who imposes a policy requiring 'no overnight guests' could violate fair housing if the policy is applied to:
AA. All tenants equally
BB. Only tenants with visiting family members, targeting families with children✓ Correct
CC. All commercial tenants
DD. Only new tenants
Explanation
Guest policies that are enforced selectively to target families with children visiting can violate familial status provisions. Policies that are consistently applied to all tenants are generally permissible, but selective enforcement constitutes discrimination.
