Strict landlords turning away single women, unmarried couples

I'm curious why some caretakers in Eastlands flats are turning away single women looking for houses to rent. I received the same rejection from two caretakers who explained that their landlords had given them strict instructions not to rent out their one-bedroom apartment to single women. I was curious because some of us are God-fearing and have steady incomes, which means we would pay our rent on time, as opposed to some men who play hide and seek with landlords at the end of every month. Landlords, in my opinion, should give all citizens an equal opportunity to rent houses.
