Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

Re: I wanted a gay roomie

Unfortunately, under California law, a landlord may not discriminate against a tenant on the basis of sexual orientation. So, you cannot, under any circumstances evict the tenant because he is or is not gay. You may, however, be able to evict him if the advances toward the housekeeper were uninvited. On these grounds, he could be evicted for committing the crime of battery and for sexual harrasment on the leased premises. But be prepared to have the housekeeper testify.

There is one small exception to the sexual orientation law; if your sincerely held religious beliefs require you to only lease to gays, then you would have a religious exception to the odious California law. But those convictions must be on religious grounds only, if those convictions are based on strong moral beliefs, forget it. The California Supreme Court, in its "wisdom", has made it unequivocally clear, that sincerely held, strong moral convictions are not enough, those convictions must be religious.
