Under the federal Fair Housing Act as mirrored by South Carolina's state fair housing law, certain transactions are exempt from familial status protections. Which of the following is NOT a recognized exemption from the familial status provisions?

Correct Answer

A) Single-family homes sold or rented by a private owner who owns more than three such homes

A private owner who owns MORE than three single-family homes does NOT qualify for the private owner exemption and is therefore NOT exempt from fair housing requirements, including familial status protections. The private owner exemption under the Fair Housing Act applies only to owners of THREE OR FEWER single-family homes who also do not use a broker and do not use discriminatory advertising. Owning more than three homes disqualifies the owner from this exemption, making option C not a recognized exemption.

Answer Options
A
Single-family homes sold or rented by a private owner who owns more than three such homes
B
Housing operated by religious organizations for members of that religion on a non-commercial basis
C
Housing for older persons that meets the requirements of the Housing for Older Persons Act
D
Single-sex dormitories operated by educational institutions
