Fair Housing
A Wisconsin property manager refuses to rent to a tenant because the tenant has a Section 8 voucher. Under Wisconsin's Open Housing Act, this may be:
APermitted; source of income is not protected federally
BProhibited; Wisconsin's Open Housing Act protects 'source of income' as a class in many circumstances✓ Correct
CPermitted in all cases unless specifically prohibited by local ordinance
DProhibited only in Milwaukee and Madison
Explanation
Wisconsin's Open Housing Act includes 'source of income' (including housing vouchers) as a protected class in certain circumstances, making it potentially unlawful to refuse to rent based solely on a tenant's use of a Section 8 voucher.
