A pregnant woman would be protected under the familial status class.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only if there are children in the household
• D. Only if the pregnancy results in a disability

Answer: (A)

Under the Fair Housing Act, familial status protection includes not only families with children under 18 but also pregnant women and individuals in the process of securing custody of a child. This means a landlord cannot discriminate against a pregnant woman or treat her differently simply because she is pregnant. The protection applies regardless of whether there are already children in the household or whether the pregnancy will result in a disability. So the pregnancy itself triggers familial status protection, making the statement true. The other options fail because protection is not limited to households with existing children or to pregnancies that result in a disability.
