Explanation
The federal Fair Housing Act (1968, as amended) protects seven classes: (1) Race, (2) Color, (3) Religion, (4) Sex, (5) National Origin, (6) Familial Status (added in 1988), and (7) Disability (added in 1988). Nevada adds several state-protected classes including sexual orientation, gender identity, and source of income. Nevada agents must know both federal and state protected classes and apply whichever provides broader protection.
