Tawllin, you are blatantly wrong and may want to brush-up on the Fair Housing Act before you place an ad someday. Section 804(c) of the Fair Housing act states: (c) To make, print, or publish, or cause to be made, printed, or published any notice, statement, or advertisement, with respect to the sale or rental of a dwelling that indicates any preference, limitation, or discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin, or an intention to make any such preference, limitation, or discrimination. In the HUD advertising guidelines it explains: Advertisements should not contain an explicit preference, limitation or discrimination on account of religion (i.e., no Jews, Christian home). Advertisements which use the legal name of an entity which contains a religious reference (for example, Roselawn Catholic Home), or those which contain a religious symbol, (such as a cross), standing alone, may indicate a religious preference. So you see, even just stating "LDS standards apply" is in violation of the Fair Housing Act because you can not use the legal name of a religious entity in advertising for housing. A renter can not discriminate against a couple for not being married even if it violates their personal religious beliefs because the act covers "familial status". This became a issue with me recently because I am looking for home to rent and found on KSL that 1 in 7 ads for homes within a 5 mile radius of where I'm living now stated "LDS standards apply". If is says that, they mean LDS only should look at the home.

Ok so how many of you have been living (i mean as opposed to being a zombi) in this state. I was raised a mormon in California and moved here in 1976. At that time when I went to find a job I was blatently asked if I was LDS. You guys can keep your head in the sand like normal but there is discrimination against those that are non LDS. If you don't believe me go out there and pretend you are main stream christian and watch the movement flow.

Tawillin You're an idiot.

Wow, did this civil rights attorney say that it "clearly" is a religious discrimination. Discrimination based on religion is when you stay to someone that they can't live there because of their a member or not a member of a certain religion. If a landlord tells potential renter that he doesn't approve of a life style, then he is not violating any law. For example, a landlord has a right to not rent to people who drink. Just because this is a "Mormon" life style does not make it religious discrimination. Now, if the landlord uses this as a means to ONLY rent to Mormons, then he is violating the law. So, this clearly is not "clearly" a civil rights violation.

This is not religious discrimination. The guy didn't say you are catholic so I'm not going to rent to you. He didn't rent to them because of their life style. The landlord was within his rights.
