A Virginia real estate agent is advising a buyer client who identifies as non-binary and is using a HUD housing voucher to purchase a home. The seller's agent calls and says the seller 'has concerns' about both the buyer's gender presentation and the use of a voucher. The buyer's agent correctly advises the buyer that the seller's conduct may violate Virginia fair housing law. Which two Virginia-specific protected classes are most directly at issue?

Correct Answer

D) Gender identity and source of funds

Virginia Fair Housing Law (Va. Code § 36-96.1 et seq.) includes both 'gender identity' and 'source of funds' as Virginia-specific protected classes. A non-binary buyer is protected under gender identity, and a buyer using a HUD housing voucher is protected under source of funds. Both classes are Virginia additions not found in the federal Fair Housing Act.

Sexual orientation and elderliness
