Which of the following is NOT protected under the Federal Fair Housing Act?

Sex
Race
Employment Status
Disability

The correct answer is: Employment Status

The Federal Fair Housing Act protects individuals from discrimination in housing based on several specific characteristics, including race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, and disability. Employment status, however, is not one of the protected categories under this federal legislation. This means that while individuals cannot be discriminated against in housing based on their race, sex, or disability, their employment status does not afford them the same protections under this act. This distinction is vital for understanding fair housing laws, as it helps to clarify the boundaries of protection and the focus of anti-discrimination efforts in housing contexts. Recognizing the importance of these protections enables advocates and future real estate professionals to better support individuals facing discrimination in the housing market.
