BSource of income is protected under Nebraska's fair housing law✓ Correct
COnly federal law applies to this situation
DThis is only prohibited in Omaha and Lincoln
Explanation
Nebraska has enacted source of income protections in its fair housing law, making it illegal to refuse to rent solely because an applicant receives housing assistance vouchers. This protection is stronger than federal law.
