This is an extremely important topic that I think landlords MUST understand and a law they must be VERY familiar with. I had recently done a very detailed article on this, covering slightly different issues, namely government employed Testers, examples of advertisements and situations that could trigger a discrimination case and who the Fair Housing laws do NOT apply to: http://www.landlordbusinessinsider.com/2007/12/fair-housing-how-to-avoid-15000-mistake.html Connie's excellent article is a great lesson on why this issue is important and step you can take to help be compliant.

I guess this could be called discrimination. :) In India it’s specially difficult for unmarried people (both males and females) to get rented accommodation.

In my case those qualifications include, having sufficent money to pay rent, taking care of the place, and not bothering the neighbors. The fair housing act is just a way to protect people who are in need of protection.
