As a property manager you may:

• A. Refuse to rent to people based on protected classes
• B. Charge application fees only to some applicants
• C. Offer inducements (incentives) to prospective tenants
• D. Require a long-term lease for all tenants

Answer: (C)

The main idea is that a property manager can use incentives to attract tenants as long as the offers are non-discriminatory and applied to all applicants under the same terms. Offering inducements (like move-in credits or rewards) is a legitimate marketing tool that helps fill vacancies without violating fair housing rules, provided you don’t base the incentive on any protected characteristic.

Refusing to rent based on protected classes would violate fair housing laws. Charging application fees to only some applicants could create unlawful discrimination unless the differences are based on legitimate, non-protected criteria and applied consistently. Requiring a long-term lease for all tenants is a policy choice, not an allowance in itself, and doesn’t address providing a permissible incentive to prospective tenants.
