A Connecticut housing complaint relies on a class protected by state law but not in the federal list. Which class is it?

Correct Answer

A) Lawful source of income

Connecticut's Fair Housing Act (CGS § 46a-64b) includes 'lawful source of income' as a protected class, which covers income from housing vouchers (such as Section 8), disability benefits, and other legal sources. This protection is specific to Connecticut and is not found in the federal Fair Housing Act. Landlords in Connecticut cannot refuse to rent to tenants solely because they receive housing assistance.

Answer Options
A
Lawful source of income
B
Race
C
National origin
D
Familial status
