Which situation is NOT prohibited under the Iowa Fair Housing Act?

Discrimination in sale based on race
Refusal to rent to families
Discrimination in sale of a pontoon boat
Discriminatory advertising practices

The correct answer is: Discrimination in sale of a pontoon boat

The correct answer highlights a scenario that does not fall under the purview of the Iowa Fair Housing Act. This act specifically addresses discrimination based on protected classes in housing-related activities, which include the sale or rental of residential properties. The sale of a pontoon boat does not pertain to housing and thus is not regulated by this law. In the context of the other situations mentioned, discrimination in sale based on race is clearly prohibited, as is refusing to rent to families with children, which violates protections against familial status discrimination. Discriminatory advertising practices are also not allowed, as they can perpetuate discrimination in housing. However, since a pontoon boat is a type of personal property and not related to housing, this situation is not subject to the restrictions imposed by the Iowa Fair Housing Act.
