Fair Housing
An Oregon property manager uses a 'first come, first served' rental policy. Under fair housing law, this policy:
AIs automatically discriminatory because it may disadvantage protected classes
BIs generally a permissible, non-discriminatory policy if applied consistently to all applicants✓ Correct
CViolates Oregon law because landlords must evaluate all applications before selecting a tenant
DIs only permissible for buildings with more than 5 units
Explanation
A first-come, first-served policy is generally permissible as a facially neutral, consistently applied rental policy. However, the landlord must still apply it consistently to all applicants — disparate application of the policy to different groups would still be discriminatory.
