A landlord in Anchorage refuses to rent an apartment to a single mother because she has two young children. Under Alaska law, which protected class does this action most directly violate?

Correct Answer

D) Parenthood under AS 18.80

AS 18.80, the Alaska Human Rights Act, explicitly protects parenthood as a distinct protected class. Refusing to rent to someone because they have children directly implicates the parenthood protection under Alaska state law. This protection is broader and more specific than the federal familial status protection and is unique to Alaska.

Answer Options
A
Marital status under AS 18.80
B
Sex under both federal and Alaska state law
C
Familial status under the federal Fair Housing Act only
D
Parenthood under AS 18.80
