Fair Housing
A Nevada landlord advertises a rental unit as 'perfect for young professionals.' Is this advertisement potentially problematic?
ANo, it is just a marketing description
BYes, because the phrase 'young professionals' may suggest a preference based on age, potentially discriminating against older adults✓ Correct
CYes, only if the unit is in a retirement community
DNo, as long as any qualified applicant can apply
Explanation
Advertising language indicating preferences for certain age groups (like 'young professionals') may violate fair housing law by discouraging older applicants from applying. HUD guidance cautions against any language that expresses a preference, limitation, or discrimination based on a protected class.
