I've actually encountered this problem recently where I'm from. I'm currently going to college and living in Cookeville, TN, which is, for all intents and purposes, a great town, IMO. However, I was told by potential landlords recently that they wouldn't rent to me and my girlfriend, because they don't rent to "unwed couples". I was extremely pissed off.
However, it's not a Cookeville thing, just those particular landlords, I came to find out. Another real estate agent I talked to told me that that was illegal. She said that was discriminating against your family makeup and upbringing, because it's basically saying that what you were raised to believe is wrong and immoral. I don't know how true that is, but she did seem in a position to know, but still, there's no telling.
But yeah, it's total bullshit.
