Limit to single occupancy via lease by bed arrangement
We just bought a SFH in a college town. There are apartment complexes that lease by the bed and, in the lease, limit occupancy to a single bed in some of their bedrooms. Our home has three bedrooms and we'd like to have a similar arrangement to limit wear and tear. But from what I've read so far, this seems to go against the fair housing act and discriminates against familial status.
Are the laws different for apartment complexes? Or does leasing by the bed let you sidestep this issue? Thanks!
