Fair Housing

A South Dakota property owner with 10 single-family rental homes advertises 'No Section 8 tenants.' Under South Dakota state law:

AThis is legal as source of income is not a protected class under all SD law✓ Correct
BThis is always illegal under federal law regardless of the reason
CThis is legal only for owner-occupied properties
DThis is legal only in rural areas of South Dakota

Explanation

South Dakota does not have a statewide law protecting source of income as a protected class. Unless a local ordinance applies, a landlord can decline Section 8 vouchers, though fair lending must still not be based on race or other protected classes.
