Explanation
Disparate treatment is intentional discrimination — treating someone less favorably because of their race, color, religion, sex, national origin, familial status, disability, or other protected characteristic. Example: telling a qualified minority applicant an apartment is unavailable while showing it to a white applicant. Unlike disparate impact (facially neutral policies), disparate treatment requires proof of discriminatory intent. Both are federal and Nevada fair housing violations.
