Fair Housing
A Utah landlord asks all prospective tenants to provide proof of citizenship or immigration status before renting. This policy may:
ABe required by Utah state law for all landlords
BViolate Fair Housing laws if it is applied in a discriminatory manner based on national origin✓ Correct
CBe permissible as it applies equally to all applicants
DOnly be challenged if the landlord is a corporation, not an individual
Explanation
While a facially neutral policy may seem non-discriminatory, if it is applied disparately or with discriminatory intent against persons of a particular national origin, it can violate Fair Housing laws. Policies must be applied consistently and without discriminatory effect.
