Questions Your Landlord Should Not Ask You

As a tenant you have rights including the right to privacy and the right to notice upon a landlord's entry into your premise. As a renter, you should be aware that there are questions that a landlord simply cannot ask you, be it once you have occupied the property or in the stages of completing a rental application.

• Nationality - A landlord cannot discriminate against you based on your nationality, citizenship or anything related to your ethnic background. This question should never be asked.
• Sexual Orientation – A landlord cannot ask you if you are straight, gay, lesbian, queer bisexual, etc., and they cannot deny you a rental unit based on your gender identity or orientation.
