Correct Answer

D) Advertising a rental property as 'no pets allowed' without referencing any protected class

Advertising a rental property as 'no pets allowed' is a lawful landlord policy. Pets are not a protected class under the Minnesota Human Rights Act (Minn. Stat. Ch. 363A) or the federal Fair Housing Act. A no-pets policy does not reference or discriminate based on any protected class. (Note: A landlord must still provide reasonable accommodations for assistance animals, but a general no-pets advertisement is not itself discriminatory.)

A
Requiring a higher security deposit from a tenant because the tenant receives public assistance
B
Refusing to show a home to a buyer because of the buyer's national origin

Advertising a rental property as 'no pets allowed' without referencing any protected class
