Discriminatory Ads?

[David P.]

Looking for some advice-

When posting an apartment for rent on various sites, I typically include a string on words at the very bottom of the ad to aid in search. Here is an example:

"University, Executive, Professional, Airport, Downtown, Yard, Dogs, Cats, Pets, Luxury, Designer, Upscale, Historic"

I was told by a friend that saw my ad that it could be considered discriminatory and in violation of Fair Housing Laws since it could appear that the ad is designed to attract "Executive and Professional" tenants.

My units are very upscale and it's reflected in the monthly rental price. Due to the above average prices and amenities offered, mostly all of my units are leased by executive or professional tenants.

As I mentioned, my goal in adding this string is to aid in search and not eliminate any potential applicants.

Any advice is welcomed. Thanks!
