How many protected classes does the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (LAD) add to housing beyond the seven classes protected by the federal Fair Housing Act?

Correct Answer

C) Seven additional classes

The NJ Law Against Discrimination (N.J.S.A. 10:5-1 et seq.) adds seven protected classes beyond the seven federal Fair Housing Act classes. The seven NJ-specific additions are: (1) sexual orientation, (2) gender identity and expression, (3) marital status, (4) domestic partnership status, (5) civil union status, (6) source of lawful income, and (7) ancestry. This makes NJ's fair housing law significantly broader than federal law.
