the sites just have to remember to put that sign "we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone" and they are covered.


Put up that sign and then refuse service to blacks, and you're not fine.

Put up that sign, implement the described policy, receive disproportionate numbers of complaints about blacks (because landlords are racist?), enforce the described policy equally irrespective of race, and you are walking a fine line. You could be sued for that and might not be fine.


the point of the comment i was first replying to was that 'it always worked for brick and mortar shops'

here in LA it's impossible to walk into a bar or restaurant and not see that sign.

but yes, i see your point too.
