I agree completely with you.

The stickier question, of course, comes when you have other bases for refusing, say, to rent to somebody. For example, singles apartment blocks that refuse to rent to married people; adults only housing that refuse to rent to families with children; single womens housing that refuses to rent to men; senior housing that refuses to rent to people under 50; landlords with religious principles who refuse to rent to persons of deviant lifestyles; etc.

Should someone be able to refuse to rent to a person with a tattoo, say? How about a convicted sex offender? Should we allow any basis for not renting to a person other than that they can't come up with the down payment and deposit? Or should a landlord be required to rent to every person who comes in with first, last, and deposit and won't overload the capacity of the apartment (for example, not renting a one-bedroom apartment to a family of eight)?
