Fair Housing
An Oregon landlord refuses to rent to a prospective tenant because they receive Section 8 housing vouchers. Under Oregon law, this is:

BA violation because Oregon prohibits discrimination based on source of income✓ Correct
CPermissible for properties with fewer than 4 units
DOnly a violation if the tenant can prove discriminatory intent
Explanation
Oregon law prohibits discrimination in housing based on source of income, which includes housing assistance vouchers such as Section 8. This is broader than federal fair housing law, which does not explicitly protect source of income.
