Janice Roberts is in violation of Massachusetts Landlord/Tenent law.

Right Against Unlawful Discrimination:

Massachusetts law prohibits discrimination in housing on the basis of race, religion, national origin, age, ancestry, military background or service, sex, sexual preference, marital status, blindness, deafness, or the need of a guide dog, except in owner-occupied two family dwellings. No landlord can refuse to rent you an apartment because you receive a rental subsidy, because the apartment contains lead, or, with some exceptions, because you have children.

“except in owner-occupied two family dwellings”

Huh? So, it only counts if the building is a duplex? (BTW, they need a hyphen for “two-family” - I think.)

Anyone else see the irony in a pacifist starting a huge fight over this?
