Maria has a Section 8 housing voucher and is searching for an apartment in Milwaukee. A landlord tells her he does not accept Section 8 vouchers and refuses to rent to her. Under Wisconsin law, which protected class has most likely been violated?

Correct Answer

B) Lawful source of income under Wisconsin Statutes Chapter 106

Wisconsin Statutes Chapter 106 explicitly protects 'lawful source of income' as a class, which includes income from housing assistance programs such as Section 8 vouchers. A landlord's blanket refusal to accept Section 8 vouchers constitutes discrimination based on lawful source of income under Wisconsin state law.

Answer Options
A
Disability, because Section 8 recipients are presumed to have a disability
B
Lawful source of income under Wisconsin Statutes Chapter 106
C
Familial status under the federal Fair Housing Act
D
Race, because Section 8 vouchers are used predominantly by minorities
