Fair Housing
A landlord wants to advertise their 3-bedroom rental property as 'perfect for a family with children.' This advertising is:
ARequired under familial status protections
BPermissible as it targets a protected class positively
CA Fair Housing violation as it implies children are required✓ Correct
DOnly permissible in residential neighborhoods
Explanation
Advertising that indicates a preference for or against any protected class is a Fair Housing violation, even if it appears positive. Stating that a property is 'perfect for a family with children' implies that other household types (singles, couples without children, seniors) are not welcome.
