Which of the following is NOT a common protected class under federal fair housing laws?

Race
Gender
Age
Disability

The correct answer is: Age

Under federal fair housing laws, such as the Fair Housing Act, certain classes of individuals are protected from discrimination in housing-related activities. These protected classes specifically include race, color, national origin, religion, sex (which encompasses gender), disability, and familial status. Age is not included as a protected class under these federal statutes, making it the correct choice in this scenario. While some state and local laws may offer protections based on age, particularly regarding senior housing, they do not fall under the federal guidelines. Understanding this distinction is crucial for real estate professionals, as it informs them of the legal landscape they must navigate when working with diverse populations.
