Discrimination Laws with House Hacking Tenant Screening

[Sarah Klein]

I'm house hacking a SFH, i.e. I'm going to live in one bedroom and rent out the other two rooms to tenants who are also my roommates.

I know that as a landlord, you're not allowed to ask personal questions to avoid discrimination charges. 

But as someone whose tenants will also be their roommates, I want to learn about the people who will be living in my house with me. 

For this situation, how would you navigate finding out information while interviewing tenants like: where are you from, how old are you generally, where did you go to school, what do you like to do for fun, do you have a SO who will be over often, do you cook a lot, etc.?
