WRONG.
Landlords can discriminate freely if certain conditions exist:
What property is exempt from the federal Fair Housing Acts?
The Fair Housing Acts do not apply to every rental property. Exempt property includes:
Owners of single family homes: A single family home is owned by a private person and rented without the use of a real estate broker.
Senior housing: Housing qualifies for this exemption if 1) HUD has made a determination that the dwelling is designed and occupied by elderly residents under a local, s\tate, or federal program; or 2) all residents are 62 or older; or 3) at least one person who is 55 years old or older resides in 80 percent of the occupied units and the public is made aware that the housing unit intends to provide senior housing to people 55 or older.
Owner-occupied housing: An owner lives in a building with four or fewer units
Some housing owned by religious organizations and private clubs: Housing that limits occupancy to its members
What are the legal reasons that a landlord can reject a prospective tenant?
A landlord must base the selection of tenants on pre-established and objective criteria. A landlord may reject prospective tenants based on a fair screening process that requires all tenants to undergo the same application process. A landlord may consider the following when screening a tenant:
Credit history
Income
History of nonpayment of rent
Prior bankruptcies

Some types of criminal convictions
