Nevada fair housing law (NRS Chapter 118) protects several classes that are NOT covered under the federal Fair Housing Act. Which of the following is NOT a protected class that Nevada state law adds beyond the seven federal protected classes?

Correct Answer

C) Immigration status, added by Nevada to protect undocumented residents in housing transactions

Immigration status is NOT a protected class added by Nevada's fair housing statutes under NRS Chapter 118. While Nevada has expanded fair housing protections beyond the seven federal classes (race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, disability), immigration status is not among the enumerated protected categories in NRS Chapter 118. Confusing general 'national origin' protections with immigration status is a common error — national origin is federally protected, but immigration status as a standalone protected class is not established under Nevada's fair housing law.

Answer Options
A
Sexual orientation, as expressly enumerated in Nevada's fair housing statutes
B
Gender identity or expression, added by Nevada to extend protections beyond federal law
C
Immigration status, added by Nevada to protect undocumented residents in housing transactions
D
Ancestry, which Nevada explicitly includes as a protected characteristic in housing
