Question 18

Creek Village -- an Age-Restricted Community

The phrase "Creek Village -- an Age-Restricted Community" is permissible as it indicates that the housing is designated for a specific age group, which complies with fair housing laws that allow certain age restrictions.

A) Children 12 and Older Only

This phrase is not permissible as it discriminates against families with younger children, violating fair housing regulations that prohibit age discrimination in housing.

B) Adults-Only Building

An "Adults-Only Building" may also be considered discriminatory, as it excludes families with children and could be challenged under fair housing laws, which aim to prevent discrimination based on familial status.

C) Creek Village -- an Age-Restricted Community

This option is permissible because it aligns with the regulations that allow for age-restricted communities, often designed for seniors, thus adhering to fair housing requirements.

D) All-Couples Apartment Building

The phrase "All-Couples Apartment Building" is discriminatory as it excludes single individuals and families, which is against fair housing laws that protect against discrimination based on marital status.

Conclusion

The correct answer, "Creek Village -- an Age-Restricted Community," is compliant with fair housing laws that permit age restrictions in certain housing contexts. In contrast, the other options fail due to discriminatory practices against families, individuals, or specific demographics, which are not allowed under these regulations. Therefore, only Option C stands as an acceptable phrase in a rental ad.
