Please note that this moratorium only applies to HUD subsidized housing.We recommend landlords and property owners take the following action: - Do not forgive any rent that is due unless you are prepared to forgive everyone's rent (which we do not recommend); - If you are going to offer hardship relief, compose written criteria outlining requirements for the relief and then apply that criteria to all applicants equally regardless of the tenants race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex, pregnancy, citizenship, familial status, and/or disability status; - Require your tenants to communicate with you in writing and keep copies of these writings in your tenant files; and - Continue to follow your normal processes and procedures, especially regarding evictions.

My understanding was when you are renting in your primary residence, i.e. renting rooms in your own house, essentially discrimination laws do not exist with the rationale being that you have to live with said people, so race, religion, sex, age, sexual status are all fair game.And again, as others mentioned, if you do feel like someone won't be a good fit, I would definitely keep it general as to why you don't want to rent to them and not state why, particularly if it for something that could be viewed as discrimination.
