If it's a room sharing situation or common living space then the person renting has every right to state which gender they prefer to live with. If it is a landlord renting out an apartment, it is illegal to discriminate on gender, race, etc.

Sex discrimination in housing is illegal. However, they have the rights to require Women Only; if the woman requires another woman to become roomates. It becomes a question of preference instead of discrimination; to want same sex living situations.
Many landlords are partial to female tenants. Because they would be more responsible in paying their rent on time. They would maintain the apt in good condition.
However, male tenants would be handy in fixing the apts .They would be good for security purposes; esp if the landlord is a lady. They would be more quiet. Women are more likely to have loud parties. And there would be a lot of traffic for male visitors or overnight guests. And lastly, male tenants would be less demanding.

i imagine you would must be able to seem on the information and evaluate 2 persons to be sure which one had the most adventure, and so on. And adventure isn't the only determiner of qualification. Ten years performing subpar artwork is nicely worth a ways lower than 3 performing concepts-blowing artwork. yet to assert that statistically females spend more suitable day out of the artwork force skill you are able to keep on with this to each and each female who applies for a job is discrimination. it is per chance why the information from WalMart are skewed compared to different organizations.

If it's a shared housing situation, and a woman is the owner, she has every right to want a woman roommate. I don't know if I would feel comfortable with a strange man sharing my house. It's different if it's a single, detached living arrangement where you have no interaction.

it could be discrimination, but depending on location and what kind of building it is. a regular apartment will be under more rules than a room in someones home- where the landlord has more authority

It depends on where you live, but it's illegal in most places.
I used to live in a rooming house back in college and we had one room free. We asked the landlord to advertise for "women only" but he said no cuz he could get sued for it... so I guess you have the right to do so.

different states, different laws....in most western states it is legal if the landlord has less than a certain amount of rentals/units.
