Fair Housing

In Kansas, the term 'discriminatory effect' or 'disparate impact' theory in fair housing law means a policy violates the FHA if:

AA landlord intends to discriminate
BA neutral policy has a disproportionately adverse effect on a protected class and lacks business justification✓ Correct
COne protected class member is treated differently from another
DAdvertising language contains coded language

Explanation

Disparate impact liability does not require discriminatory intent — a facially neutral policy may violate the FHA if it disproportionately harms members of a protected class and the policy is not justified by a legitimate business necessity.
