Fair Housing
A real estate agent posts a listing with the phrase 'perfect for young professionals.' This phrase potentially violates fair housing laws by:
ADiscriminating based on source of income
BDiscriminating based on age (suggesting preference against families with children or older adults)✓ Correct
CDiscriminating based on national origin
DNo violation — it is simply marketing language
Explanation
The phrase 'young professionals' suggests a preference for younger adults, which could indicate discrimination based on familial status (discouraging families with children) or age (discouraging older adults, who are protected under Oregon law for persons 40+). Advertising language that suggests preferences or limitations based on protected characteristics violates the Fair Housing Act. HUD guidelines prohibit such coded language.
