Fair Housing
In Minnesota, the protections for source of income under the Minnesota Human Rights Act mean that a landlord cannot refuse to rent based solely on:
AA tenant's credit score
BThe tenant's lawful source of income such as Social Security, disability benefits, or housing vouchers✓ Correct
CThe tenant's rental history
DThe tenant's employment status
Explanation
Minnesota's source of income protections prevent landlords from refusing to rent to tenants whose income comes from lawful sources such as Social Security, disability benefits, pensions, alimony, child support, or housing vouchers (Section 8). A landlord may still screen based on the adequacy of income but cannot reject solely because it comes from a protected source.
