Which of the following does not extend protections under Massachusetts Fair Housing Laws?

The correct choice is occupational status because Massachusetts Fair Housing Laws extend protections to various categories, but occupational status is not included. The law focuses on preventing discrimination based on factors such as race, color, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, disability, and age, among others.

In contrast, marital status, sexual orientation, and disability are protected characteristics under these laws. This means individuals cannot be discriminated against in housing-related transactions because of their marital status (whether single, married, divorced, etc.), sexual orientation (whether they identify as heterosexual, homosexual, or otherwise), or disability (whether physical or mental). Understanding these protections ensures that everyone has equal access to housing opportunities in Massachusetts.
