McKissock Fair Housing, Fair Lending Practice Test

Which class is protected under both NYC HRL and NYS HRL?

Race Pregnancy Alienage Disability

Correct Answer:

Race

Explanation:

Race is protected under both NYC and NYS Human Rights Laws. Both laws explicitly prohibit discrimination based on race in areas like housing, employment, and public services, so treating someone unfavorably because of race is illegal under both frameworks. This shared protection makes race the clear answer, since it shows a category guaranteed to be protected across both statutes. The other options may have protections in one jurisdiction or in specific contexts, but they aren’t as consistently protected under both laws.
