i tried looking it up, but I couldn't find anything specific. Maybe I am not looking in the right place or maybe house-hacking is so new there are barely any laws yet haha. 

Hoping to get more feedback. 

Thanks BP, you guys rock

Hi BP!

Long-time lurker, first time poster. After listening to podcasts and viewing forums, I wanted to try to house-hack the home that I own and currently live in.

My question is, am I allowed to choose a tenant who I will share a house with based on gender or age? I want someone around my age so that we will get along and preferably someone the same gender as I am. 
I realize I would not be able to do this based on the law if I was renting an entire home out, but are the rules different if I will just be renting a room and sharing the common area with them (kitchen, living room, bathroom). 

I am from California if that makes a difference.

THANKS BP!
