Under KRS Chapter 344, Kentucky's Fair Housing Act, which of the following classes is protected against housing discrimination? All of the following are protected classes under Kentucky law EXCEPT:

Correct Answer

C) Marital status of the prospective buyer or tenant

Marital status is NOT a protected class under KRS Chapter 344 (the Kentucky Fair Housing Act) or under the federal Fair Housing Act. While some states (such as California and Minnesota) have added marital status as a protected class under their state fair housing laws, Kentucky has not done so. Therefore, marital status is the correct answer to this EXCEPT question — it is the one listed characteristic that is not a protected class under Kentucky law.

Answer Options
A
National origin of the prospective buyer or tenant
B
Familial status of the prospective buyer or tenant
C
Marital status of the prospective buyer or tenant
D
Religion of the prospective buyer or tenant
