AA permissible safety exception under the FHA
BA violation of the FHA's familial status protections✓ Correct
CAllowed because pools are a legitimate hazard
DOnly a violation if the family has more than 3 children
Explanation
Familial status is a protected class under the FHA. Refusing to rent to families with children based on general safety concerns is not a recognized exemption. The manager could be required to install appropriate safety measures rather than discriminate.
