Fair Housing
In Iowa, the protected class of 'source of income' under fair housing law means landlords:
AMay not refuse tenants solely because their income comes from housing vouchers or government assistance✓ Correct
BMust accept any tenant regardless of their income level
CMust offer reduced rent to low-income tenants
DMay only rent to tenants with income above a set threshold
Explanation
Some Iowa municipalities have enacted local ordinances protecting 'source of income' as a protected class, meaning landlords cannot refuse to rent to tenants solely because their income source includes housing vouchers (like Section 8). Iowa's statewide Civil Rights Act protects other classes.
