You cannot deny tenancy to prospective tenants just because they have children, even if you think the rental property is unsafe for children. Families are a protected class, so even if the property is such that owner could be assuming potential liability by renting to a family with children, the owner cannot deny tenancy on that basis. For instance, if an owner doesn’t want children in a houseboat because of concern that a child might fall off and drown, that decision is not the owner’s to make and denying tenancy on that basis would be considered a discriminatory act.
