A Georgia renter reports discrimination and asks which protected classes are recognized under the statewide fair-housing law. Which statement is accurate?

Correct Answer

D) Georgia's statewide fair housing protected classes mirror the federal baseline: race, color, religion, sex, disability, national origin, and familial status.

Under O.C.G.A. Title 8, Chapter 3, Article 4, Georgia's statewide fair housing law establishes protected classes that align with the seven federal Fair Housing Act categories: race, color, religion, sex, disability, national origin, and familial status. The Georgia Commission on Equal Opportunity (GCEO) enforces these protections at the state level. Georgia has not enacted statewide legislation adding classes beyond the federal baseline, though some local jurisdictions may have additional protections through local ordinances.

Answer Options
A
Georgia's statewide law expands beyond federal protections by adding sexual orientation and source of income as protected classes.
B
Georgia law allows local brokerages to define their own protected classes based on community standards.
C
Georgia's statewide law protects only race, color, and national origin, covering fewer classes than federal law.
D
Georgia's statewide fair housing protected classes mirror the federal baseline: race, color, religion, sex, disability, national origin, and familial status.
