Fair Housing
An Oklahoma condominium association that requires all new owners to obtain board approval before completing a purchase is potentially violating the Fair Housing Act if:
AThey approve all applications equally regardless of income
BThe approval process is used to discriminate based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, disability, or familial status✓ Correct
CThe approval takes more than 30 days

Explanation
Condominium board approval requirements are legal in themselves, but if used to discriminate against protected class members, they violate the Fair Housing Act. Such practices have been successfully challenged when boards approve white applicants and deny minority applicants with similar qualifications.
