Owner A wants to rent a room in her house. Which of the following advertisements would be considered legal?

Room for rent; no children
Room for rent; female only
Room for rent; no pets
Room for rent; no smoking

The correct answer is: Room for rent; female only

Ads for rental properties have certain restrictions set by law. While owners have the right to select who they choose to rent to, they cannot discriminate based on protected classes such as race, religion, gender, and familial status. Option A would be considered discriminatory as it excludes families with children, a protected class. Option C would also be considered discriminatory as it excludes individuals with pets, which could be considered an accommodation for someone with a disability. Option D could be viewed as discriminatory for individuals who have an addiction to smoking, which is also a protected class. Option B is the only option that does not explicitly discriminate against any protected class and would therefore be considered legal.
