Fair Housing
In Missouri, a landlord advertising 'perfect for young couples without kids' is potentially advertising a preference for those without children (familial status discrimination). What should the advertisement say instead?
AKeep the language as it attracts the right tenants
BDescribe the property objectively (e.g., '1-bedroom apartment, 750 sq ft, no pets')✓ Correct
CAdd 'we also accept families with children'
DOnly advertise in publications read by non-families
Explanation
Fair housing-compliant advertising describes the property's physical attributes without expressing preferences related to protected classes. Objective descriptions of the unit (size, features, price, location) are appropriate.
