Lease Renewal Question

[Charlie Chres]

Hello BP,

I’m in California. I have a question to ask, any inputs are appreciated.

The original tenant of ours wants to renew the lease but doesn’t want to renew with the existing roommates. I don’t have a problem with that at all since I like our original tenant but I’m worried about Fair Housing laws.

Like, what if the other roommates want to continue the lease as well. How can I remove just them from the lease and favor the original tenant in this case?

Thanks in advance!
