Yes. In the US, the Federal Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination based upon gender, race, religion, family or marital status, or sexual orientation. But, a landlord can discriminate against unprotected groups, like students or lawyers. If the landlord is engaging in unlawful discrimination, this should be reported to some authority, like the attorney general. However, this kind of thing is hard to prove.
