Is this an act of discrimination or not?

The Federal Fair Housing Act states illegal discrimination occurs when a landlord treats a prospective renter differently based on certain characteristics or lifestyles. The Act applies to all apartments except buildings of four or fewer units where the owner also lives, housing run by organizations or private clubs, and single-family housing rented without the service of a licensed Real Estate Broker. A landlord cannot treat you differently during any stage of the rental process based on the following categories: Race or Color National Origin, Religion, Families with Children Under 18 or Pregnant Women.

It might be morally unjust but according to federal law, it is legal.

I’d like to know what your thoughts are on the subject.

Please remember…

If you are in the market for a new apartment, you’d better think twice before getting way too inebriated at the next holiday party like this guy did.
