The Grace Baptist Church owns a three-bedroom home that it wants to rent out. Which of the following advertisements could it legally post?

The choice of "Three-bedroom home available for rent" is the legally appropriate advertisement that the Grace Baptist Church can post. This statement merely describes the property available for rent – specifically its size and the number of bedrooms – without implying any limitations or preferences regarding who can rent the home. It is straightforward and compliant with fair housing laws, which prohibit discriminatory advertising based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, familial status, or disability.

In contrast, the other options suggest certain limitations or preferences that could be perceived as discriminatory. "Family-friendly home for rent" implies a preference for families, which may exclude individuals without children. "Church-affiliated housing available" could suggest an expectation or requirement of affiliation with the church, which can inadvertently discriminate against those not affiliated. Finally, "Home for rent to married couples only" is explicitly discriminatory by limiting rental options based on marital status. Therefore, the first option is the only choice that adheres to fair housing standards while simply communicating the availability of the property.
