Under the federal Fair Housing Act, a Nevada licensee is prohibited from discriminating in the sale or rental of housing based on a protected class. Which of the following is NOT a federally protected class under the Fair Housing Act?

Correct Answer

C) Sexual orientation

Sexual orientation is NOT one of the seven federally protected classes under the Fair Housing Act. The seven federal classes are race, color, religion, sex, national origin, familial status, and disability. Sexual orientation is protected under Nevada state fair housing law (NRS Chapter 118), but it is not a federal protected class under the FHA itself. Nevada licensees must be aware of this distinction between federal and state protections.
