A licensed real estate salesperson in New Jersey is advising a client about the NJ Law Against Discrimination's protected classes in housing. Which of the following is NOT a protected class under the NJ LAD that goes beyond the seven classes protected under the federal Fair Housing Act?

Correct Answer

C) Familial status

Familial status is one of the seven protected classes under the federal Fair Housing Act (added by the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988). It is not a class that New Jersey added beyond federal law — it is already a federal protection. The NJ LAD does also protect familial status, but the question asks which class is NOT an NJ addition beyond federal law. Source of lawful income, marital status, and gender identity and expression are all NJ-specific additions that go beyond the seven federal protected classes.

Answer Options
A
Source of lawful income
B
Marital status
C
Familial status
D
Gender identity and expression
