Elena, a Nevada broker, places an advertisement for a rental property in Las Vegas that states: 'Ideal for young professionals — no children.' A fair housing investigator reviews the ad. Which federally protected class does this advertisement most likely violate?

Correct Answer

D) Familial status

Familial status is a federally protected class under the Fair Housing Act, added by the 1988 amendments. It protects families with children under 18 from housing discrimination. The phrase 'no children' in a rental advertisement is a direct expression of a preference against families with children, which constitutes illegal discriminatory advertising based on familial status under the FHA.
