Question 6

The couple is excluded from the application of the Virginia Fair Housing Law if the dwelling contains no more than four living quarters, one of which is the owner's residence.

This exemption applies specifically when the multifamily dwelling has four or fewer living units and one of those units is occupied by the owner.

A) contains no more than six living quarters

This option is incorrect because the Virginia Fair Housing Law only exempts dwellings with four or fewer living quarters. A dwelling with six living quarters does not meet the criteria for exemption.

B) contains no more than four living quarters, one of which is the owner's residence

This option is correct as it aligns with the stipulations set forth in the Virginia Fair Housing Law. When a multifamily dwelling contains four or fewer units and one is occupied by the owner, the owners are exempt from the law's application.

C) is a condominium and adheres to the Condominium Act of the State of Virginia

This option is incorrect because being a condominium does not inherently exempt the owners from the Virginia Fair Housing Law. The specific criteria regarding the number of living quarters and owner occupancy must be met for an exemption.

D) adheres to county codes

This option is also incorrect. Adherence to county codes does not provide an exemption under the Virginia Fair Housing Law. The law specifically focuses on the number of living quarters and the occupancy of the owner.

Conclusion

The correct answer is option B, as it directly reflects the criteria for exemption under the Virginia Fair Housing Law. Options A, C, and D fail to meet the specified conditions, while only option B clearly outlines the necessary requirements for exclusion from the law's application.
