What to do if my landlord is assigning an opposite gender roommate in my apartment?

My daughter is in a private company apartment complex that caters to students and pairs roommates. My daughter’s female roommate is moving out and all indications are that a male roommate is being assigned the to soon to be vacated bed space. The contract is gender neutral as to who can be assigned using the term “roommate”. Is there anyway I can block a male from being assigned to my daughter’s apartment? A female replacement would be acceptable but on religious grounds we strenuously object to a male. What recourse do we have?
