Explanation
Nevada's Fair Housing law (NRS 118) extends protections beyond the seven federal protected classes to include: sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, source of income (e.g., housing vouchers), marital status, and ancestry. Source of income protection means landlords generally cannot refuse to rent to tenants using Section 8 vouchers or other lawful income sources. This is an important distinction in Nevada license exam questions.
