Explanation
The Fair Housing Act has limited exemptions, including religious organizations and private clubs that rent housing to members incidental to their primary purpose. The 'Mrs. Murphy exemption' (owner of 4 or fewer units who lives in the building) is another exemption, but it does not apply if an agent is used or if discriminatory advertising is used.
