Asking for names and birth dates of minors on lease

[Daniel Pearson]

Hi all! 

My wife and I have an ADU in our basement and we're getting ready to get our third family in there as our current tenants are moving soon. We're wondering if there's any law that would prohibit us from requesting (not requiring) the birthdates and names of children that will be coming with the new tenants? I know the fair housing laws state that we can't require documents of minors. The reason we're asking is we would like to be able to get them little gifts on their birthdays.

Thanks!

@Daniel Pearson We always request names and birthdates for minor children and we list them as occupants on the lease (not responsible parties). We do this because if there is ever an emergency, we want to be able to account for everyone who resides at the property.
