united-states rental-property discrimination ohio
Can landlords discriminate against potential tenants based on their current profession?
<p>Simply enough, is it illegal to not rent to someone based on their current profession? </p>

<p>It is almost totally legal. Federal law prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, disability, and familial status, and Ohio law (<a href="http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/4112" rel="nofollow noreferrer">ORC 4112</a>) does extends the prohibition to ancestry and military status. So if the reason is "she's (not) a soldier", it's illegal, otherwise it is legal.</p>
