Question: One of my tenants has asked me to change the gender listed on his rental application from male to female. Because the application was only used to qualify him as a tenant, I don't see the need to make this change. Must I?

Answer: It would be wise to allow the tenant to change the gender listed because under federal fair housing law gender is a category protected from discrimination. This means that a person cannot be discriminated against solely based on the fact that they are male or female.
