A. Nothing in this Chapter shall prohibit a religious organization, association or society, or any nonprofit institution or organization operated, supervised or controlled by or in conjunction with a religious organization, association or society, from limiting the sale, rental or occupancy of dwellings which it owns or operates for other than a commercial purpose to persons of the same religion, or from giving preference to such persons, unless membership in such religion is restricted on account of race, color, sex or national origin. Nor shall anything in this Chapter prohibit a private club not in fact open to the public, which as an incident to its primary purpose or purposes provides lodging which it owns or operates for other than a commercial purpose, from limiting the rental or occupancy of such lodgings to its members or from giving preference to its members.

B. This Chapter does not require that an owner make accessible any housing accommodation which is not otherwise physically accessible to the physically or sensorially handicapped unless so required by a federal, state, city or county statute, ordinance or regulation.

C. This Chapter shall not prohibit the owner, lessee, sublessee, managing agent, real estate broker, real estate salesperson, or any other person having the right to sell, rent or lease property or any agent or employee thereof of housing accommodations from requiring the same financial obligations of all prospective tenants regardless of their race, color, religion, sex, marital status, national origin, age or the presence of any sensory, mental or physical handicap. Discrimination in the amount or manner of payment of said financial obligations shall be an unlawful discriminatory practice.

D. Housing accommodations in which there are common lavatory or sleeping facilities, shared by any number of persons, may give preference on the basis of sex in offering and providing those accommodations to the public.
