Which advertising would be discriminatory?

• A. No children.
• B. Pets allowed.
• C. Non smoker.
• D. Wheelchair accessible.

Answer: (A)

The main concept here is that advertising for housing cannot express preferences or limits based on protected classes under the Fair Housing Act. Families with children are a protected group (familial status). Saying “No children” directly excludes people with children, which makes it discriminatory. The other options aren’t based on protected characteristics: “Pets allowed” is just a policy about animals; “Non smoker” relates to smoking status, which isn’t a protected class; and “Wheelchair accessible” describes a feature that helps accessibility rather than indicating bias against a protected group.
