Student housing laws

[Susan Clark]

I have a 5bdrm student housing that my daughter lives in and I’m trying to rent out the other 4bdrms. Twice already I’ve been told I’m discriminating according to gender because I’m only renting to females. Not stating students or career people just has to be female. Am I wrong. How should I phrase this. I was to understand that if a place was owner occupy the rules were also a bit different.

Honestly, this is a question that is worth a one hour session with an attorney. The owner occupancy laws may or may not apply since (I'm assuming) your daughters name is not the one on the property. If the property is in New York you 100% should have an attorney look at this, as NY laws are crazy.
