Sure, as long as you don't say "only" international students.

It's tricky when renting as opposed to advertising for a roommate. A landlord cannot discriminate based on age, race, nationality or any other protected status. If its a roommate, you can offer the room to whomever you want. But the landlord/tenant relationship brings the law into the equation and you must abide by the law. Good luck.

How this is perceived may vary based on your location. I'd check the rental market in your area before placing an ad. Your local paper that takes classified may know as well because they probably have rules about not specifying things it's illegal to specifiy.

I wouldn't say it in the advertising, but you can accept whomever you choose, and you don't have to share your criteria with anybody.

Generally you can do this as long as you own and occupy the property.
