> There may be a grey area regarding a larger 6-bedroom home that the owner occupies but is renting out for a week while he's out of town. The owner doesn't have to physically share the space simultaneously with the renter. I can't tell if anti-discrimination laws applies to that situation.

Exemptions to federal statues may not apply in this case if the owner is renting out >4 bedrooms.

The owner-occupied housing exemption only applies to buildings with 4 or fewer units.

The single family home exemption may still apply, but if you're rending out all the bedrooms, it's probably gray enough that you should avoid overt racial discrimination.

But you really ought to avoid overt racial discrimination in any case...
