| california's fair employment and housing act (feha) (sections 13100-13196 of the government code) prohibits housing discrimination based on marital status as well as race, color, religion, sex, national origin or ancestry. the department of fair employment and housing enforces the law, which is based on the former rumford fair housing act. example: some years ago roger lessor tried to evict angie Tenant because angie, an unmarried woman, was living with an unrelated adult male. roger was unsuccessful because his intended action violated what was then the rumford act. roger recently decided to require that each member of an unrelated couple living together in one of his apartments meet his rental financial requirements, even though married couples can aggregate their income to meet the financial requirements. can roger do that? no. the fair employment and housing act bans discrimination based on marital status. note: discrimination under feha does not include refusal to rent part of a single-family, owner-occupied dwelling to only one individual. all notices and advertisements must comply with feha, except for those expressing a preference for applicants of one sex for the sharing of living in a single dwelling unit.
