Which deed restriction is considered invalid?

Limitations on materials used
Limitations on types of future development
Limitations on persons of a certain race
Limitations on future subdivisions

The correct answer is: Limitations on persons of a certain race

The acknowledgment that limitations on persons of a certain race are considered invalid aligns with fundamental principles of fair housing and anti-discrimination laws. Such restrictions are in direct violation of laws such as the Fair Housing Act, which prohibits discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, familial status, and disability. These laws are designed to promote equal opportunity in housing and prevent segregation. In the context of deed restrictions, any provisions that uphold discriminatory practices are not only unenforceable but also undermine the integrity and purpose of property laws aimed at fostering diversity and inclusion within communities. Consequently, while limitations on materials used, types of future development, and future subdivisions may be legitimate concerns for property owners and developers in structuring deeds, restrictions based on race have no legal standing and are invalid.
