[quote=flu]I guess if the person was white and overweight and conservative, you wouldn’t have rented to the person, even if he/she could have afforded the rent and had stellar credit….
Besides the irony of the difference between your perceived open-mindedness and your actions….. So much for fair housing/equal opportunity act there, Brian…[/quote]
Not to be “sticking up” for brian, in particular, here … but brian, when interviewing potential roommates to live WITH him (when he’s there) CAN choose exactly what he wants! Call it “discrimination” if you will but brian put out an ad for a ROOMMATE, NOT a TENANT. The two should not be compared. brian or me or you or any Pigg would be legally within our rights to pick and choose whatever traits we want in a ROOMMATE that will LIVE WITH US, either full or part time, up to and including having a preference for sex, religion, race, marital status, entertainment preferences, cleanliness, preference for or against children, etc. He is within his rights to choose a “lipstick lesbian” roommate donning whatever shade of lipstick he would prefer to see her in, that is, if he is ultra-particular, lol.
Fair housing laws do not apply to persons looking for roommates to share their own living quarters with.
