Which of the following advertising statements by an Indiana broker would most likely violate the federal Fair Housing Act's prohibition on discriminatory advertising?

Correct Answer

D) "Ideal for a Christian family seeking a faith-based community."

The Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C. § 3604(c)) prohibits any advertisement that indicates a preference, limitation, or discrimination based on a protected class. Stating that a property is 'ideal for a Christian family' expresses a preference based on religion, which is a federally protected class. This language violates the advertising provisions of the Fair Housing Act.

Answer Options
A
"Quiet neighborhood, close to schools and parks."
B
"Recently renovated three-bedroom home with modern finishes."
C
"Walking distance to public transportation and shopping centers."
D
"Ideal for a Christian family seeking a faith-based community."
