Re: circumstancial and complete hearsay
Much more information would likely be required for such a determination, but unless the denial of housing for your friend could be demonstrably shown to have been based upon his or her link to one of the protected categories involved in federal antidiscrimination law such as race, religion, ethnicity, sex, etc., I would surmise that such a lawsuit as you've suggested would have dubious viability.
