Which type of advertisements are prohibited under fair housing laws?

Advertisements that focus on property price
Advertisements that highlight neighborhood features
Advertisements that indicate preferences based on race or religion
Advertisements that promote luxury amenities

The correct answer is: Advertisements that indicate preferences based on race or religion

Fair housing laws are designed to prevent discrimination in housing-related activities, including advertising. When considering types of advertisements that are prohibited, those that indicate a preference or limitation based on race, religion, color, national origin, sex, familial status, or disability are strictly forbidden. This means that any advertisement suggesting that certain groups are favored or discriminated against violates these laws and undermines the principle of equal opportunity in housing. The other options, while relevant to real estate marketing practices, do not inherently violate fair housing laws. Advertisements that focus on property price, highlight neighborhood features, or promote luxury amenities can be informative and legal as long as they do not suggest any discriminatory intentions or preferences. The focus on race or religion, however, is a clear violation and is thus the correct answer in identifying prohibited advertisements under fair housing laws.
