Fair Housing
A landlord in Georgia who uses a 'no Section 8 vouchers' policy may be:
AA. Protected under federal fair housing law's private landlord exemption
BB. Potentially violating local ordinances that include source of income as a protected class✓ Correct
CC. Required to accept all vouchers under federal law
DD. Exempt because federal law does not require acceptance of housing vouchers
Explanation
Federal fair housing law does not explicitly include 'source of income' as a protected class, so federal law does not require acceptance of housing vouchers. However, some Georgia municipalities have added source of income protections. Local ordinances may prohibit such policies.
