Fair Housing
A NH property owner with a 'no children' policy in their single-family rental home would most likely be:
AProtected by the single-family home exemption from the Fair Housing Act if they don't use an agent✓ Correct
BViolating the Fair Housing Act's familial status protections regardless of exemptions
CPermitted under NH law since single-family homes have no fair housing requirements
DSubject only to HUD enforcement, not NH enforcement
Explanation
The Fair Housing Act exempts owner-occupied single-family homes sold or rented without a broker (Mrs. Murphy exemption) from some provisions, but the exemption has limits—discriminatory advertising is still prohibited. A private owner renting without an agent may have limited protection from familial status claims, but NH RSA 354-A has broader coverage.
