Could a realtor refuse to rent a room in their personal home to certain individuals?

I was reading that realtors are held to a MUCH HIGHER standard than the general public regarding discrimination.

Not trying to offend anyone in 2023 here. Hopefully “certain individuals” isn’t offensive to any left-wing extremists here. I tried to make it sound as polite as possible.

But would renting out a room in their PERSONAL RESIDENCE fall under fair housing or is that law just for non-owner occupied housing?

Also, what actual and punitive damages would be awarded if a realtor got sued by one of these potential renters?

Would the Government sue for a realtor not renting a room in their personal residence to potential renters?
