Ah yeah, you're right. Need to brush up on my understanding of rental laws.
From AirBNB:
"Many countries, including the U.S., have laws preventing discrimination on the basis of race, religion, national origin, disability, sex, sexual orientation, or age. In the U.S., anti-discrimination laws apply to discrimination by any inn, hotel, motel, or other establishment that provides lodging to guests. The two main federal laws in this area are the Fair Housing Act (Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968) (FHA) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)."
Note that these protections do not apply if the landlord is living in the building (under 4 units).
