The protected class citizens have a line drawn somewhere. The federal courts agree for roommates, you can discriminate because a roommate is a more intimate relationship than selling a house or renting out a house.
Since AirBnB is supposedly sharing...I don't see how that's different from getting roommates. They would have to reclassify their whole stance on being about "sharing economy" and admit they are more for renting homes than sharing homes, and not allow of renting out a hoise while the owner also lives there.
While they are at it, they can get Uber to reclassify themselves as a taxi company too.
- matthewowen 10y agoThey already classify properties as shared room vs private room vs entire place, so this isn't an issue.
- fma 10y agoTheir commitment states "we’re asking everyone"...So that includes people who are doing shared rooms.
