The Fair Housing Act does not cover:

• A. Dwelling units
• B. non-dwelling buildings
• C. advertising regarding housing
• D. housing services

Answer: (B)

Access to housing and the fairness of housing-related transactions are the focus. The Fair Housing Act applies to residential properties—dwelling units such as houses, apartments, condos, and other places people live—and to activities that facilitate those housing transactions. It covers discriminatory practices in selling or renting a home, in financing that housing, and in related services like advertising for housing and the actions of housing providers or managers. Since non-dwelling buildings are not used for residential occupancy and are not part of housing transactions, they fall outside the Act’s scope. So non-dwelling buildings are not covered by the Fair Housing Act.
