Fair Housing
A North Dakota apartment complex that restricts children from using the swimming pool to certain hours while allowing adults unrestricted access is:
AA reasonable safety measure always permitted
BPotentially discriminatory familial status treatment if it singles out children unfairly compared to adults✓ Correct
CRequired by North Dakota health codes
DLegal because pools are dangerous for children
Explanation
Overly restrictive rules targeting families with children (such as severely limiting pool access that adults don't face) may constitute familial status discrimination. While age-appropriate safety rules can be legitimate, rules that impose undue burdens specifically on families with children violate the Fair Housing Act.
