Question

Your client submits an application to rent a condo unit. He has excellent credit and been in the same job for a long time. He uses a cane to help him with mobility. When his application is rejected, he feels it's due to his disability. He is protected under ______.

Answer 1

Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988

Step-by-step explanation:

An individual in this situation would be protected under the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988. This act strictly prohibits discrimination in the sale, rental, and financing of housing based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, and disability. In this Act, disability is defined as "having a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one (or more) major life activities", which in this specific scenario perfectly describes the client since his mobility is limited and requires a can to be able to get around.
