Which of the following is considered a prohibited activity under the Fair Housing Act?

The Fair Housing Act's primary purpose is to eliminate discrimination in housing and ensure equal opportunity for all individuals in their housing choices. Under this Act, it's illegal to engage in practices that discriminate based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, or disability.

Making false statements about property availability is prohibited because it can mislead individuals and prevents them from having equal access to housing options. This behavior undermines the integrity of the housing market and can have discriminatory effects, even if unintentional.

Advertising that housing is restricted to specific demographic groups is also a violation of the Fair Housing Act. Such advertising can imply that certain groups are unwelcome or excluded, fostering divisive practices that hinder equal access to housing for all individuals, irrespective of their background.

Thus, both activities—making false statements about property availability and advertising for specific demographic groups—are prohibited under the Fair Housing Act, making the combination of these actions the correct choice.
