If a landlord were to ask their property manager if a potential tenant is a member of a fair housing act protected class, how should the property manager proceed?
a. The property manager should politely decline to answer the question, as it is illegal to discriminate against potential tenants based on their membership in a fair housing act protected class.

b. The property manager should inform the landlord that they are not allowed to inquire about a potential tenant's membership in a fair housing act protected class, and instead should focus on evaluating the tenant based on their financial and rental history.

c. The property manager should educate the landlord about fair housing laws and explain that it is not appropriate to consider a potential tenant's membership in a fair housing act protected class when making rental decisions.

d. The property manager should suggest that the landlord consult with legal counsel to ensure they are in compliance with fair housing laws when evaluating potential tenants.
