(a) It shall be unlawful to discriminate in the sale or rental, or to otherwise make unavailable or deny, a dwelling to any buyer or renter because of a handicap of:

(1) the buyer or renter;

(2) a person residing in or intending to reside in the dwelling after it is so sold, rented, or made available; or

(3) any person associated with the buyer or renter.

(4) Inquiry to determine whether an applicant for a dwelling is a current illegal abuser or addict of a controlled substance.

(5) Inquiry to determine whether an applicant has been convicted of illegal manufacture or distribution of a controlled substance.

(d) Nothing in this section requires that a dwelling be made available to an individual whose tenancy would constitute a direct threat to the health or safety of other individuals or would result in substantial physical damage to the property of others.
