Fair Housing
What does 'HIV/AIDS status' protection in Hawaii fair housing mean for housing providers?
AA. HIV/AIDS status is not a protected class in Hawaii housing; landlords may discriminate based on it
BB. HIV/AIDS is considered a disability under the Fair Housing Act; housing providers may not discriminate against, segregate, or impose different terms on persons with HIV/AIDS✓ Correct
CC. HIV/AIDS protection only applies to federally subsidized housing in Hawaii
DD. Housing providers must disclose if a previous tenant had HIV/AIDS in Hawaii
Explanation
HIV/AIDS status is considered a disability under the Fair Housing Act, and persons living with HIV/AIDS are protected from housing discrimination. Hawaii's fair housing law similarly protects persons with disabilities including HIV/AIDS. Landlords cannot refuse to rent, impose different terms, or segregate persons based on HIV/AIDS status. A previous occupant's HIV/AIDS status is not a required disclosure.
