Advertising for Roommates There is much confusion about what is or not proper language that can be used for advertisements in seeking roommates. Such advertisements may refer to the desired sex of the tenant, but only where the sharing of living areas is involved or where the advertisement is for a dormitory for an educational institution. Such preference is not permissible where the advertisement merely involves the rental of separate units in a single or multi- family dwelling (i.e. a landlord who seeks to rent a basement apartment with no shared living quarters, could not advertise for a male tenant only). The only exception regarding advertising for a roommate is with respect to the person’s sex. In no case may a housing advertisement seek a roommate of a particular race,religion, or other protected class.
