What type of housing discrimination is illegal when it comes to property rentals?

The federal Fair Housing Act and the Fair Housing Amendment Acts (42 U.S. Code 3601-3619, 3631) and many state and local laws, prohibit a landlord from selecting tenants based on certain criteria. A landlord may not refuse to rent to a tenant for the following reasons:

Race or color
National origin
Religion
Disability or handicap, including physical and mental impairment
Sex, including sexual harassment
Familial status (includes protection for people with children under age 18 or pregnant women)
In addition, state and local housing discrimination laws may offer coverage beyond federal law, such as protection for sexual orientation, age, and marital status.

Can a tenant or a prospective tenant sue the landlord for discrimination in federal or state court?

Within two years after an alleged violation occurs, a person may file a private lawsuit in federal or state court even if the discrimination led to a complaint with HUD. As long as a conciliation agreement did not occur or an administrative hearing did not commence, a court can preside over the case. A finding of discrimination may result in the tenant receiving actual damages, damages for emotional distress, punitive damages, and attorney fees.

I think as a landlord you cannot advertise 'only for girls' or 'only for whites' or 'only for people I like'. There are laws against discrimination. Now if he does not own the property and just rents it and is trying to find co-renters hen it is fine. But if he owns the property and is trying to rent it out, he is not allowed to discriminate. That s the law of the land.
