I’m talking mainly about Craigslist. A lot of people rent out houses they own, and say “Non-smokers only.” However, I think this can be considered discrimination, because it is alluding to something you do regardless of where you live. I’m a smoker, but I refuse to smoke INSIDE the house. But, because I’m a smoker, does that mean that they won’t rent to me because I smoke outside, where it is perfectly legal? I’m thinking that they need to state something more to the point of “No smoking INSIDE THE PROPERTY.” That I can understand, because they OWN the property, so they have a right to say something like that. But to put a blanket statement and say that no smokers are allowed to live there, I think might be considered discrimination. Can anyone with any real estate/CA Housing Laws/Fair Property Act (I think) give me some insight into this? I would appreciate it!

Give me a break morons! Sooo….apparently you don’t understand the definition of the word “Question.” I’m looking for a place to live, don’t want to ruffle anyone’s feathers, so I ask a QUESTION to see if I have any legal grounds to stand on (hence the “real estate/CA Housing Laws/Fair Property Act” mention!)

haha-you guys make me laugh. It’s so funny when someone gets SO MAD at a smoker, and then they go drink their 12 pack of Budweiser, and stop and pick up 8 Starbuck’s a day. You guys are funny. I wanted an answer, and I got a laugh. THANKS!
