I was an owner and landlord of six single family houses for years. The Fair Housing Act was around long before Obama was. The landlord can’t legally do what he’s threatening, lease or no lease.

These aren’t single family houses ...

Then what is the problem?

“I was an owner and landlord of six single family houses for years. The Fair Housing Act was around long before Obama was. “

“On the other hand, there is no basis to conclude that Congress intended that an owner or manager of dwellings would be unable to restrict the number of occupants who could reside in a dwelling. Thus, the Department believes that in appropriate circumstances, owners and managers may develop and implement reasonable occupancy requirements based on factors such as the number and size of sleeping areas or bedrooms and the overall size of the dwelling unit. In this regard, it must be noted that, in connection with a complaint alleging discrimination on the basis of familial status, the Department will carefully examine any such nongovernmental restriction to determine whether it operates unreasonably to limit or exclude families with children. “

The FHA does not apply in this case.
