Explanation
'No children preferred' discriminates based on familial status, which is a protected class under the federal Fair Housing Act and Oregon's Fair Housing Act. Advertising that expresses a preference for or against any protected class — even using indirect language — is prohibited. Familial status protections cover families with children under 18.
