The New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (LAD) protects several classes in housing that are NOT covered by the federal Fair Housing Act. Which of the following is NOT an additional protected class added by the NJ LAD beyond federal law?

Correct Answer

D) Disability

Disability (also referred to as handicap) is a protected class under the federal Fair Housing Act (added in 1988). It is not an additional class unique to New Jersey — it is already covered at the federal level. The NJ LAD also protects individuals with disabilities, but this is not an example of NJ expanding beyond federal protections.
