A Virginia broker is training new salespersons on fair housing compliance. She states: 'Under Virginia law, we have five protected classes that go beyond the seven federal classes. If you only memorize the federal classes, you will miss Virginia-specific violations on the exam and in practice.' A trainee asks which five classes Virginia adds. Which answer correctly lists all five Virginia-specific additions?

Correct Answer

B) Elderliness (55+), source of funds, sexual orientation, gender identity, and military status

Code § 36-96.1 et seq.) adds exactly five protected classes beyond the seven federal classes: (1) elderliness (age 55+), (2) source of funds, (3) sexual orientation, (4) gender identity, and (5) military status. Each of these is a Virginia-specific addition not found in the federal Fair Housing Act.
