Yes, it is unlawful. Yes, you can ask--not for the purposes of discrimination, but for the purposes of having an accurate record of who will be residing at the property.

It is unlawful to deny someone based on their familial status. That does not mean that you cannot--and should not--find out the names, identities, and relationships of those who are applying for your place. Just don't make a decision to accept or reject based on familial status. You may qualify based only on non-discriminatory data.

But if you ask who will be living in the property and their relationships, they may claim that you reject them based on their family status.
