No, as a landlord, you cannot legally evict someone solely because they have different beliefs than you. Discrimination based on religion, race, gender, national origin, familial status, disability, and other protected characteristics is prohibited under federal laws like the Fair Housing Act, as well as many state and local laws.
Key Points to Consider:
Fair Housing Act: The Fair Housing Act protects tenants from discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, familial status, or disability. Evicting someone for their beliefs (religious or otherwise) would be considered discriminatory and is illegal.
State and Local Laws: In addition to federal laws, many states and municipalities have their own anti-discrimination laws that may provide even broader protections, including protections for sexual orientation, gender identity, and political beliefs.
