Landlords prefer female tenants in general due to a perception of cleanliness. This sort of discrimination is of course illegal but they do it anyway.
That's simultaneously bigoted and painfully uninformed. So I can see why a landlord might think it.
Which is hilarious, because not to be that guy but women absolutely destroy bathrooms in my experience. I need like the hand soap, shampoo, body wash, and my toothbrush and toothpaste. Pretty easy to keep all that clean.
Meanwhile no matter how nice and meticulous of a female roommate I've had the bathroom ends up an absolute destroyed disaster of makeup hair dye and i don't even know what else.
Then again on the Flipside most male roommates I've had don't understand the concept of scraping uneaten food into the trash on your way to the sink instead of just putting it in the sink and then letting water run over it so it becomes a mushy moldy mess at the bottom.
The lesson here is that everyone sucks, just differently(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻)
Only times I had to call pest control for roaches was when I was renting to single women.
