Fair Housing
A Missouri landlord who refuses to rent to someone because they use a wheelchair has violated the Fair Housing Act. The landlord's defense that 'the unit is too small' is:
AA valid exemption
BNot a valid exemption; disability is a protected class regardless of unit size✓ Correct
CA valid defense if the unit is under 500 square feet
DValid if the landlord is a small building owner
Explanation
Disability is a protected class under the FHA. Using wheelchair use as a reason to deny housing is discrimination. The size of the unit is not a legal basis for refusing to rent to a person with a disability.
