As mentioned in that thread, the Fair Housing Act explicitly excludes the core AirBnB business from its regulations. I can believe there are larger operations advertising through AirBnB, but if you're only renting your spare bedroom or holiday home that doesn't apply.
Doesn't it simply exclude if someone is staying in your house with you - like if you're renting out a spare bedroom or lower level in the house you live in?
Reading the law in question, for the purposes of this discussion you are correct: there is still an exemption when selling or renting out a second home, but not if you use a broker like AirBnB to arrange things.
Women can discriminate openly because telling homeowners they aren't allowed to be picky about who they let into their own homes would have been a poison pill that might have killed the entire bill. It's got nothing to do with them being women, idiot.
You waive the right to be picky when you put the place up for rent.
Only if you're renting out four or more units of accomodation. If you're just renting out your spare bedroom or your summer home, you are not subject to regulation by the Fair Housing Act.
