Fair Housing
In Louisiana, the federal Fair Housing Act prohibits 'discriminatory terms and conditions' in housing transactions. An example of this is:
ARequiring all tenants to pay first and last month's rent
BRequiring a larger security deposit only from tenants of a certain national origin✓ Correct
CConducting credit checks on all prospective tenants
DLimiting occupancy to the number of persons the building can legally accommodate
Explanation
Requiring a larger security deposit based on a tenant's national origin imposes discriminatory terms and conditions on a protected class — a clear violation of the Fair Housing Act. Neutral policies applied uniformly to all applicants are generally permissible.
