Its always possible the law in your jurisdiciton varies from what I'm familiar with but generally the answer would be Yes. In most cases a landlord may make a decision based upon what the landlord decides is credit worthiness.

Except for those reasons based upon ethnic heritage and religion. A landlord doesn't even have to have a license to be a landlord, not even formal training.
