Fair Housing
In Tennessee, which of the following is an example of a 'disparate treatment' fair housing violation?
AA neutral policy that inadvertently affects a protected class
BA landlord who charges a higher security deposit to all tenants over age 60✓ Correct
CA building code that requires wider doorways in new construction

Explanation
Disparate treatment involves intentionally treating members of a protected class differently — such as charging higher deposits specifically because of age, which would violate the Fair Housing Act (though age is not a protected class under FHA, targeting elderly persons could intersect with other violations).
