Which of the following lists protected classes that Illinois fair housing law covers beyond the seven classes in the federal Fair Housing Act?

Correct Answer

A) Ancestry, age (40+), marital status, military status, source of income, immigration status, order of protection status, and arrest record

The Illinois Human Rights Act (775 ILCS 5/3-102) extends housing discrimination protections beyond the federal Fair Housing Act's seven classes to include ancestry, age (40 and older), marital status, military status, source of income, immigration status, order of protection status, and arrest record, among others. These additions reflect Illinois's policy of broader civil rights protections.

Answer Options
A
Ancestry, age (40+), marital status, military status, source of income, immigration status, order of protection status, and arrest record
B
Sexual orientation and disability only, which are the sole additions Illinois makes to the federal baseline
C
County of residence, credit score, and political party affiliation
D
Illinois adds no classes beyond the federal seven; state law simply reinforces the federal Fair Housing Act
