Fair Housing Laws - Male Roommate

Posted

I am looking into doing my first house hack. I am looking into duplexes and would rent out one unit and live in the other. I would also like to have a roommate in the unit I am living in. I was planning on finding a roommate through the Roommate pages on Facebook. However, what I'm wondering is; If I am posting about looking for a roommate and mention something such as "male roommate," am I subject to going against Fair Housing Laws since I am technically also the landlord rather than just another roommate?
