Which of the following most accurately lists protected classes that Illinois adds to housing discrimination law beyond the seven classes protected under the federal Fair Housing Act?

Correct Answer

D) Illinois adds categories such as ancestry, age (40 and older), marital status, military status, source of income, immigration status, and order of protection status to the federal baseline.

The Illinois Human Rights Act (775 ILCS 5/3-102) prohibits housing discrimination on grounds that go well beyond the seven federal Fair Housing Act classes. Illinois-specific housing protections include ancestry, age (40 and older), marital status, military status and discharge status, source of income, immigration status, and order of protection status, among others. These additional classes reflect Illinois's broader civil rights policy in housing.

Answer Options
A
Illinois adds only political affiliation and credit score to the federal baseline.
B
Illinois adds no classes beyond the federal seven; the federal Fair Housing Act sets the complete standard in Illinois.
C
Illinois adds only county of residence and height to the federal baseline.
D
Illinois adds categories such as ancestry, age (40 and older), marital status, military status, source of income, immigration status, and order of protection status to the federal baseline.
