There are two basic ways you, as a landlord, can be liable for housing discrimination:
You commit discrimination personally; and/or
Your agents commit discrimination in the course of carrying out their employment duties or otherwise pursuing your interests.
The latter is known as “vicarious liability,” and a recent case from Mississippi is an excellent example of how it can play out in the fair housing context.
