Fair Housing
An Idaho property manager asks prospective tenants how many children they have. This question is most likely:
AAcceptable as routine screening
BA potential fair housing violation related to familial status✓ Correct
CRequired by Idaho landlord-tenant law
DAcceptable if the property has no children's facilities
Explanation
Asking about the number of children is a potential violation of the Fair Housing Act's prohibition against familial status discrimination. Landlords should apply consistent, objective criteria without inquiring about family composition.
