A Wisconsin real estate agent is explaining Wisconsin's fair housing protected classes to a new licensee. She correctly states that Wisconsin Statutes Chapter 106 adds several classes beyond federal law. Which of the following is NOT a class that Wisconsin adds beyond the seven federally protected classes?

Correct Answer

D) Familial status

Familial status is one of the seven federally protected classes under the federal Fair Housing Act (added in 1988) and is therefore NOT a class added by Wisconsin beyond federal law. Wisconsin Chapter 106 adds marital status, sexual orientation, lawful source of income, and status as a victim of domestic abuse, sexual assault, or stalking — but familial status is already covered federally.

Answer Options
A
Status as a victim of domestic abuse, sexual assault, or stalking
B
Lawful source of income
C
Sexual orientation
D
Familial status
