Question

Is it legal for a landlord to say he won't rent to someone's ex girlfriend simply because the man says things would be "uncomfortable in the complex



Answer

Yes...to an extent. The LL is not allowed to discriminate under the fair housing act. He can't refuse to rent because she is a women, because of her color, nationality, family status, handicap, or religion. But if he just doesn't like her, he has the right to rent to whom he wants as long as he doesn't violate the fair housign act and discriminate.
