Fair Housing
Under Oregon law, a mobile home park owner who raises lot rents exclusively for residents with children after a fair housing complaint would likely be guilty of:
AReasonable business judgment in pricing
BRetaliation — penalizing tenants for exercising fair housing rights✓ Correct
CLegal adjustment based on market conditions
DNo violation since lot rent increases are exempt from fair housing
Explanation
Retaliating against tenants who file fair housing complaints by raising their rent or taking adverse action is prohibited under both Oregon and federal fair housing law. Retaliation is a separate violation from the underlying discrimination — even if the original complaint were unfounded, the retaliatory rent increase would independently violate the law.
