Constitutional rights are limits on the government and not private parties. (with the exception of the 13th Amendment which directly proscribes conduct by anyone)

If I break into your house and search it looking for drugs I haven't violated your fourth amendment rights but committed a burglary. In that same vein a landlord may be prohibited by statute from doing certain things and/or required by statute to do certain things. However they are not required/prohibited from doing anything by the constitution.

Landlords aren't prohibited from discriminating against tenants by the constitution but by statute.

If this was a public university you could assert your RKBA as a limit on its conduct. But since it is a private university you would have to come up with an argument that allows you to do so.
