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

Color
Religion
Age
National origin

The correct answer is: Age

The Fair Housing Act (Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968) prohibits discrimination in housing based on specific protected classes. These protected classes include race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, and disability. In this context, "age" does not appear as a protected class under the Fair Housing Act. While age discrimination can be addressed in other civil rights laws, particularly in employment or other areas, it is not specifically included in the categories that the Fair Housing Act protects. Understanding the specific classes covered by the Fair Housing Act is essential for compliance and ensuring fair treatment in housing opportunities. Recognizing which classes are not protected helps clarify the scope of the law and reinforces the importance of promoting equal housing rights for those in protected categories.
