Explanation
Private clubs that restrict occupancy to members as a primary function are not covered by the Fair Housing Act. The 'Mrs. Murphy' exemption covers owner-occupied buildings with four or fewer units (for race, color, national origin, religion, and sex discrimination). Religious organizations have limited exemptions. Senior housing has a separate exemption from familial status.
