A Nevada real estate salesperson is reviewing the federal Fair Housing Act's protected classes before taking a listing. Which of the following classes was added to the Fair Housing Act by the 1988 Fair Housing Amendments Act, making it a relatively recent federal protection?

Correct Answer

B) Disability

Disability (along with familial status) was added to the Fair Housing Act by the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988. The original Fair Housing Act of 1968 covered five classes: race, color, religion, sex, and national origin. The 1988 amendments expanded the Act to include familial status and disability, bringing the total to seven federally protected classes. Nevada licensees must know both the original five classes and the two classes added in 1988.
