Fair Housing
Under the Fair Housing Act, a person who is 'regarded as' having a disability is protected even if they do not actually have one. What does this mean?

BIf a landlord refuses housing because they perceive a person to have a disability (even if they do not), it is still illegal discrimination✓ Correct
CThis provision applies only to physical disabilities
DThis protection does not apply to housing, only employment
Explanation
The FHA's disability definition covers persons who are 'regarded as' having an impairment. If a landlord denies housing because they incorrectly believe an applicant has a disability, this is still disability discrimination even if the person has no actual disability.
