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.
