UnderThe Federal Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C. § 3604) and the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act (PHRA), it is illegal to discriminate against renters or buyers based onfamily status, which includes children. However,age-restricted housing is allowed under certain conditions.
Housing communities designated as "55 and older" or "62 and older" are legally permitted under the Housing for Older Persons Act (HOPA), provided they meet federal guidelines.
Option C (Creek Village - an Age-Restricted Community) is lawful because it indicates compliance with HOPA, meaning at least 80% of residents are over 55.
Why the other answers are incorrect:
Option A (Children 12 and Older Only):Discriminating against families with young children violates theFair Housing Act (FHA).
Option B (Adults Only Building):Landlords cannot prohibit families with children from renting.
Option D (All Couples Apartment Building):This discriminates againstsingle renters and violates fair housing laws.
