Which action is considered a violation of Fair Housing laws?

Refusing to rent to a family with children is a violation of Fair Housing laws because such actions discriminate against families based on familial status. The Fair Housing Act protects individuals from discrimination in housing based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, and disability. Familial status specifically refers to the presence of children under the age of 18 living with parents or guardians. Therefore, any refusal to rent based on the presence of children constitutes discrimination and is illegal under these laws.

In contrast, offering assistance to low-income families, providing accessibility features for tenants with disabilities, and selling a property at market value do not breach Fair Housing laws. These actions promote inclusivity and compliance with regulations designed to ensure equal housing opportunities for all individuals, regardless of their background or specific circumstances.
