(Okay, she is outright lying when she says ‘There are no exemptions to that.’)<br /><br />It is unlawful to express a preference for a Christian (Muslim, Wiccan, etc) renter in a dwelling in which you do not live, i.e. your rental property. It is perfectly acceptable to do so in your own home.RB Borennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960732812801813184.post-44155624370997997912010-10-26T15:17:27.484-06:002010-10-26T15:17:27.484-06:00Glad you like the blog.
