I inherited a tenant that was a registered sex offender by force/authority for children. 

Multi state criminal and sex offender.

Under the federal Fair Housing Act, landlords who live in a property with four or fewer rental units (this would include your situation) are exempt from all but one aspect of the federal law: They may not advertise in a way that indicates a preference for (or against) members of a protected class (race, color, religion, national origin, sex, familial status and disability).

To the extreme that one property manager told me stories about a 12 units studio building under his management with 8 tenants registered sex offenders.   

The protected classes include race, color, national origin,religion, sex, familial status, and disability.

I recently came across a house that is currently owned by a sex offender.

There's an old saying called the "powdered butt" syndrome: once someone has powdered your butt (as a baby) they don't want your opinion on money or sex.
