Fair Housing
What is 'age' as a protected class in Nevada and under what laws?
AAge is not protected in Nevada housing law
BUnder Nevada state law, age (40+) is protected in employment but not housing; however, the Fair Housing Act's senior housing exemptions (55+ and 62+ communities) interact with age-based occupancy rules that Nevada licensees must understand✓ Correct
CThe FHA protects all age groups equally in housing
DNevada prohibits all age-based housing restrictions
Explanation
Age is not a protected class under the federal Fair Housing Act for general housing discrimination. The FHA protects familial status (families with children) but provides exemptions for qualified senior housing (55+ and 62+ communities). Nevada state law (NRS 118.100) protects against discrimination in housing based on age, which provides broader protection than federal law. Nevada agents must understand both federal exemptions for senior communities and Nevada's state-level age protections.
