Which of the following is NOT a listed reason for a discriminatory act?

Age
Employment status
Sexual orientation
Familial status

The correct answer is: Employment status

Employment status is not a protected characteristic under federal anti-discrimination laws, such as the Fair Housing Act, which typically recognizes factors like race, color, religion, sex, national origin, familial status, disability, and sexual orientation as valid reasons that can lead to discriminatory practices. In contrast, age, sexual orientation, and familial status fall within the scope of various state and federal regulations aimed at protecting individuals from discrimination in housing and employment. This distinction is crucial for understanding fair housing laws, which emphasize the significance of protected classes and the need to foster equal opportunity within real estate practices.
