Roommate laws when posting ads?
My roommate is moving out and is putting an ad out to take his spot. There was a reply from a guy who was interested but he has 2 young kids. Unfortunately I do not want a roommate with kids. Can I legally tell him no or am I violating a discriminatory law?

There is no law saying you have to live inside an apartment, under the same roof With children, if you don't wish to do so. The landlord would be in violation for Refusing to rent a vacancy to someone with children. Here's a link with more information by state. Fair Housing Laws and Presidential Executive Orders - HUD |
