In advertising, what is prohibited?

1. Mentioning the property has stairs

2. Statements indicating a limitation on race or religion

3. Advertising the property as family-friendly

4. Describing the physical attributes of a property

The correct answer is: Statements indicating a limitation on race or religion

Advertising is a powerful tool used to attract potential buyers or renters to a property. While most advertisements focus on highlighting the positive features of a property, it is important to also understand what is prohibited in advertising. In this case, statement B is the correct answer as it refers to discriminatory practices related to race or religion in advertising. It is important to remember that all individuals should be treated fairly and equally in housing, and discriminatory practices are not acceptable. The other options, mentioning stairs, advertising as family-friendly, and describing physical attributes, do not fall under the category of prohibited actions in advertising. While mentioning stairs may be considered a limitation for some individuals, it is not a discriminatory practice. Similarly, advertising a property as family-friendly or describing its physical attributes are not considered discriminatory practices. It is crucial to be aware of and abide by fair housing laws when creating advertisements for properties.
