Fair Housing
In Hawaii, a landlord refuses to rent to a couple with two children, saying 'No kids allowed.' This is most likely a violation of which law?
AA. HRS Chapter 467 (License Law)
BB. Federal Fair Housing Act (familial status)
CC. Hawaii Landlord-Tenant Code
DD. Both B and C✓ Correct
Explanation
Refusing to rent to families with children violates both the federal Fair Housing Act (familial status protection) and Hawaii's fair housing law. Hawaii's HRS Chapter 515 also protects familial status, and the Landlord-Tenant Code prohibits discriminatory terms.
