Fair Housing
A property manager in Oklahoma refuses to rent to a family because they have three children, citing 'overcrowding' for a three-bedroom unit. This could be:
ALegitimate based on occupancy standards
BA violation of the Fair Housing Act's protection for familial status if the refusal is based on family composition rather than legitimate, consistently applied occupancy standards✓ Correct
CRequired by Oklahoma building codes
DOnly a problem if the family is also a member of another protected class
Explanation
Refusing to rent to families with children based on family composition violates the familial status protection under the Fair Housing Act. While landlords can apply legitimate occupancy standards (such as two-plus-one per bedroom), blanket refusals to families are illegal.
