A property owner in Bowling Green, Kentucky posts a rental advertisement stating 'Ideal for single professionals — no couples preferred.' A divorced applicant who applies alone is rejected. Under KRS Chapter 344, which protected class is MOST directly implicated by both the advertisement language and the rejection?

Correct Answer

D) Marital status

Under KRS Chapter 344, marital status is a Kentucky-specific protected class not found in the federal Fair Housing Act. The advertisement's preference for 'single professionals' over 'couples' and the rejection of a divorced applicant both implicate marital status discrimination. Kentucky law prohibits housing discrimination based on whether a person is single, married, divorced, or widowed.
