FHA protected class questions

[Sam Leon]

Fellow landlords, I have a few questions regarding FHA protected classes.

(1) Familial Status:  My understanding is that this class applies to marital status, families with children under 18, families with someone expecting or adopting etc...What about roommates?  Can you rent a single family home to a couple (husband and wife) and decline two unrelated roommates?  Would this fall into a gray area?

(2) If an applicant is tattooed from head to toe, can(would) you decline based on that alone?

(3) Can you decline someone to even apply due to sheer stupidity?
