Fair Housing
Under the Virginia Fair Housing Law, a landlord may legally advertise a rental unit as:
A'Professionals only' — implying preference for higher-income tenants of certain occupations
B'No Section 8' — discriminating based on source of funds
C'2 bedroom available — ideal for couple or roommates' — describing the unit✓ Correct
D'Christians preferred' — a religious preference
Explanation
Describing a property's features and who it might suit (based on size/layout) is permissible. 'Professionals only,' 'No Section 8,' and 'Christians preferred' all suggest illegal discrimination based on source of funds, religion, or class.
