I encourage you to then tell the authorities that the Fair Housing Act does not apply to you. Maybe you're ignorant and you really don't understand the concept, or maybe I'm wrong and you're in the extremely narrow minority of property owners that are exempt from the Fair Housing Act.
You your self called smokers a minority - I don't have to rent to a minority.
The point I was making is I can deny renting an apartment to anyone and give any reason I choose.
It's nice to know we have lots of new government-worshipers on Free Republic.
