Is it legal to rent a house to unmarried couples?
26-Feb-2023 (In Landlord/Tenant Law)
We are planning to rent our 1 BHK house on rent & have been approached by an unmarried couple. Is it legal to give house on rent to unmarried couple. As per law what are the things to check about tenants before giving house on rent to them
yes, it is legal to rent out an apartment to unmarried couple. Make sure that at the time of letting out the property you make a rent agreement in the name of both the person (couple) and get it duly signed by them to safeguard your rights for the future.

Federal, state, and local fair housing laws protect against housing discrimination. Some states do allow a landlord to use unmarried status as criteria for refusing an application. You will need to research your state and local fair housing laws to determine if there is an applicable law protecting unmarried couples from housing discrimination. If allowed by law and your rental standards you must be sure to apply your standards to all applicants. Each and every applicant must be screened using the same rental criteria, in the same manner, every time..,I hope you get answer.., thank you
