[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The simple reply is: "We've got a no pets, no kids lease for the guest house, and cousin has both. SIL and her DH have neither. If we were renting to strangers we'd have the same limitations on the lease. It's business." Then change the topic every single time. "Lease, no pets/kids, how is the chicken salad?"

You can't say (as someone suggested), "We don't mix family and business" because you are renting to family. Just not to this cousin. And while you really don't owe anyone an explanation for doing what you want with your own property, you have a very easy go-to script here. [/quote]

Umm.  Just, FYI, it's illegal to say you will not rent to family with children.  It's family status discrimination.

Not true. It's perfectly legal in this case, because OP is renting out a room in a residence she owns and lives in, without a broker.[/quote]
